Default NS6-R, 19s on a short vacation...


Bought these wheels a year ago and never liked them, so I never used them.
Was about to trade for some stock wheels but decided I'd give them one last chance.

Wet sanded the crap out of them.

Took out my LPH-50 and some PPG paint.

Not enough pizazz so I added some decals.

Now it's dark, spent the day on this project....

Think I'll keep them a little bit longer.
Got some black Sparco Monza seats with red inserts to match the wheels.

All comments welcome.

I'm not a big fan of those wheels either, but in the color scheme you did, they look awesome!

The red is vinyl sticker material.

I tried doing it one continuous sticker but when I made a mistake I had to start over and that wasted a lot of materials. Each wheel has 3 long strips. I'm going to paint it a candy metallic red later. No clearcoat right now but will be doing that when I redo the red.

Those wheels look great. I'm sure you're glad you gave them another shot. What are the specs?
