Volk wheels painting, PLEASE HELP!!
hi guys!!
Need some help, I took my car to a car wash and I really don`t know what kind of chemical they put on the wheels but they seem to have lost the original color I need to re-paint them, but my real problem is how to find the specific color code for the Volk Progressive TEs to have them paint exactly as new, any help finding this color code?

I bet if you call Status auto and talk to the guys over there they will know. If not then just get them powdercoated a color you like it would be around $400for all 4 wheels.
^^Just a thought^^

oh I wanted to say:
the TE37s are anodized, and from talking with Andy@performance nissan (who was incrediably helpful) there is basically nothing you can do. almost no where can anodize a wheel and it's super expensive if you can find somewhere. if it is white and hazy that is the same thing that happened to me.

Thats my boy!!!!!!!!!! I love hearing stuff like this, they need to be more cautious of our cars...I got a small nick in one of my LE37s the other day from when I brought it to NIssan for an oil change and I made them get it fixed!! I explained the rim is discontinued and was like 850 a pop!!
I have never let them wash my car, I have heard horror stories....
Congrats on what you did, I think it will make the dealership be a little more attentive when a 350Z comes through the door!!
