those arent nismo;s

 

Here is the set of 18' G35's I had widened to 10.5' in the rear. They turned out great. I now have a set of 19' G35's that i'm gonna widen to 11' and powdercoat black or gunmetal.

 

Not the best comparison, but here is a before and after shot

 

But I don't have the Nismo rims.....so would that be failing?

 

cost of widening? How safe?

 

no.....I would be failing

 

did em 2 weeks ago

 

how much did you pay

 

The wheels are perfectly safe, they are guaranteed to be race track safe. The shop that mounted my tires was skeptical of the outcome but were blown away when they threw just the wheel on the mounting machine and saw that the wheels were perfect, not a single counter weight needed, same thing when they put the tires on. The cost, if i remember correctly was .5"-2.0" wider was 200 per wheel, and 2.5" and up was 225 per. I'm happy with how they turned out, and will be doing the same to my 19's

 

i wish i would have seen this post alot longer ago..i used duplicolor wheel coating on my rims about a year ago...they are holing up GREAT and i think they look awsome..i always get compliments on them



i hope those pics work...im deployed rigth now and the military computers block EVERYTHING, it sucks bad for trying to look at things on this site

 

Was that done proffesionally? Looks damn good, exactly how I want mine

 

your car looks great......minus those rims. Trust me man, buy some new rims and you'll love yourself in the morning.

 

link to company?? i remember asking about this a whie ago. please send me a link!

 

here's my contribution.. Rays OEM Track wheels sprayed in to graphite, with the lip staying silver..



And yes, TAPING WAS THE WORST PART OF THE WHOLE PROJECT!

I hope I don't get flamed *flame suit on* LOL

 

i dont have any pics of just the wheels but here are 2 pics where you can see them

 

powdercoated or spray?

I spray'd... but now I'm thinking of powdercoating them cus I e-mailed the tech guys at Mackin Industries and they said since most powdercoating takes places in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven, it should NOT affect the structural integrity of the forged aluminum...

so crossing my fingers *crossed* I'm going to have the powdercoated the same graphite because when I had my tires installed, those idiots scratched my wheel :*(

 

mine are sprayed..i used duplicolor wheel coating....iv had a few sets of tires put on and havent had a problem yet....

 

Mine are too, and I used to duplicolor wheel coating also, 2 coats of base paint and 2 clear... and they got scratched

 

What color is that? Are those the stock tires? Something is making the wheels look huge . Also, are you using spacers?

 

I would bet he is, prob 25mm. I have them on the rear.
