^^^ I really like the cleanliness of your car. How's the handling with the 275's? They are 40's in height, right?

so when you use this wheel paint do you have to sand/prime??? You just tape off the tire section?

Here are my POLISHED Z wheels on my M35 (NOT CHROME) with PS2's. They are 4 rears. I had to basically buy a staggered set of 4, sell the fronts and then find another two rear wheels. I have been thinking about selling them because I want to buy some Works...

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
Local shop near you?

Thanks! Upkeep is a little hard because one rain fall makes them spotty. BUT, the great thing with this polishing job is there is no clear coat. I can hit the wheels with metal polish and buff out any spots or minor scratches!!!

I have the 03 track wheels I've gone through this thread and there is no real definitive answer, what spacers are best to sit flush? I have 275 in the rear and 245 in the front.

how low are you sitting.. the best would be 20mm (f) + 25mm (r) if you are not dropped too low... that's the setting you want with a 1.0" + 1.2" drop at most, so that you dont rub.
