Took off the stickers on my TE-37's
Man.. it was a pain in the ass to do. Here we go, still waiting on those center caps from Volk...:icon4:
Lighting is too dim this time, due to the bad weather, and the car and wheels are dirty from the rain.. but it's all good. http://www.naturalclear.com/350Z/te37ns1.jpg http://www.naturalclear.com/350Z/te37ns3.jpg http://www.naturalclear.com/350Z/te37ns2.jpg |
Beautiful looking rims dude!
Allright z461! Now, don't keep us in suspense any longer - how did you remove the stickers? Solvent? Goo-gone? Easy-off oven cleaner? (j/k!):p
You are a brave person to reside in urban LA without wheel locks also! :D |
With the center caps, it would look almost OEM, like the optional 19"s for the M3. Trust me, that's a good thing:)
By the way, how's the gap between fender and tire look? In your first pics, it didn't look bad at all, just fine to me. What would you say? |
man I love those gunmetal TE37s on the CS :D just beautiful, aggresive looking. An extra 100 horses and thats my perfect car.

Pretty Brave
wow,...I couldn't imagine doing that to my old Bronze TE-37's,..because you can NEVER get those stickers again,Not bashin either!;)
As far as removing them goes,..give it a few mths and a few washes(if you wash your wheels HARD) they will rub off in time,.all my friends w/ Te's they have rubbed off,..but my old ones never did! what are the spec's of the wheels--Size/off-set/size of tires front & rear--and if you could Price?? LOOKS DAMN GOOD THOUGH! |
That looks absolutely stunning! Great job z461! Now go get five sets of wheel locks to protect your investment!
|
Umm..there are wheel locks on the wheels already. I may invest in a set of Volk wheel locks though... I took it off using a plastic spatula and a hairdryer. First I used my nails until they started seperating from my fingers and bleeding :mad: .
Daytona - The wheel gap is about 1.5 fingers in the rear and almost 2 fingers in front. It LOOKS like it's lowered, kinda funny.. I have eibach springs on order, but not sure if i'm going to put them on. I'm really happy the Z doesn't look raised after putting on +1 size wheels. |

Simply stunning !!!
Very, very nice job ! Those TE-37's in 19 inch configuration are beautiful.
I love the NISMO wheels... but I am beginning to have second doubts. Hmmm... I am going to instal the S-tune (or R if it comes out)... and will have to talk with the NISMO guys on 19 inch -vs- 18 inch wheels with suspension setup. What type of wheel caps are being offered .. flat to the wheel ? |
