Here are the pics of my Brick with the Stardust Silver powdercoat and polished lip. BFG KDW 2 skins on them. I may go with spacers eventually. What do you guys think????

 

 

Looks great!!!! That almost makes me want to buy a set of track rims for mine. I assume you got somebody to do the polishing and powercoating - how much $$ ?

 

looks good...

 

I wish my powdercoater was as good as yours my PC job didnt look 1/10th that good.

very nice.

 

saaweet!!!

 

that looks amazing. i think i might have to do something similar to my track rays too. also, do you know if adding spacers would have any negative effects, such as decreased handling, increased wear on the hub or anything around the wheel, etc?

 

they look great on the car! Did you wind up making the center caps?

 

Working on the center caps. Should be made this week or next. Powdercoating will have to wait till the guy can work them in. Kind of a pain to setup and spray something that small I guess. But yes I will have blank center caps the same color as the wheels. The ones I have don't look to bad.

 

hey if u domt mind me asking how much did that cost totall, for the powder job and the polishing of the lip.....


PS looks daaym good!!

 

Here is a link to the thread that as to do with how it was done and how much everything cost.

I can never get these links to work but here goes:

looks hot, i think with spacers it would look meaner

 

I think I'm jealous....wait....yep, I have confirmation....I'm jealous...haha.

I think the plain centercaps would look nice because it would make them look more aftermarket like the LE37 or TE37's with the blank caps.

 

Very nice - truely beautiful

 

Is H&R the only brand of spacer that fit the Z? If you know any vendors that carry these (been to the website) or other brands please post. I'm thinking 15mm up front 20mm out back. What size studs would I need? I've read all the search results and everyone seems to be up in the air about these being good or bad. All thought on this are welcome.

The Track wheels will look much better pushed out IMHO.

Thanks for the help,

Dan

 

Performance Nissan sells the spacers and longer studs and they're a forum sponsor. I've bought a few things from them and have no complaints.

BTW the downside of spacers is increased wheel bearing wear. Of course, I've got wide, sticky tires and track the car so I doubt spacers would anywhere near as bad as that.

 

Gotta pic to compare to before? I really can't tell a difference.

 

nis350ztt,

Don't know that I'm sure what you are missing here. Color is metallic not flat and the lip is polished not painted. Does that answer your question?

Dan

 

So the color of the wheel is the same...you just got it metallic flaked and the lip polished?

 

That's basically correct. The color is a shade or so darker but not much and the lip is polished. The flake really stands out in the sun. Looks good IMHO. Other advantage is that the powdercoating is very durable.
