I've sustained some minor curb damage to my front passenger-side wheel. It's not that noticeable but it bums me out everytime I wash my car.

Is it possible to buy a single replacement (Rays Engineering)wheel from a dealer? I checked The Performance and Courtesy sites and found nothing.

If it is possible to purchase one replacement, who has the best price?


Thanks.

 

I recently had a problem with a local tire place chipping a piece of my track rim and while it looks like I am going to have to take them to court, I have checked at Miller Nissan in Van NUys and Universal City Nissan and it is between $1500 and $1600 for each rim. It's nuts. I am thinking of maybe getting some other rims (a set of 4 ) for a little more than that. Definately let me know if you find the rim cheaper.

Thanks

yeah they are supper expensive!~

I can order one for you no problem and give you 25% off list... keep in mind list is something like 1650 though...

Ill find out the price and get it for you...

if you ask me... time for some gun-metal or black track wheels

(powdercoating your wheels though us means fixed curb rash

 

Let me know what a front track rim will cost?

Also what do mean by no curb rash? Does powdercoating them fix that.


I made the mistake of letting my wife drive the car and has a couple of curb marks on the rims to show for it.

Also, my car is the 03 silver track and I really the look of the (I am not sure what it's called) but I gues the alloy ot matte finish of the stock track tims. I am not a fan of chrome and I don't know what the gunmetal powdercoating would look like?

Anyone have this combo? Silver track and powdercoated gunmental track rims? (If so please post some pics)

 

and here is a thread on powdercoated gunmetal and blakc wheels...

i posted a photo in that thread of a gunmetal wheel next to a chrome silver car...

and yes, when we powdercoat wheels, we fix any problems with the wheel..

 

Take it to a rim repair specialist.

 

Somebody should know the answer to this, maybe Jason is the man, but don't Rays Engineering Track Wheels, and the Nismo wheels, both get cast by the same company to their specs? Is it Volk? And don't they both weigh almost the same, about 18lbs?
And doesn't a set of Nismos cost about the same as one of the Rays?
Looks of course are a different matter, but if it is performance driven, the Nismo wheel looks like a real bargain.
However, wheels are really not something that I have been greatly focused on, and there are lots of folks that are hyper educated, and sensitive, about the subject.
So, at some risk here, why not consider getting a set of Nismo wheels, sell the three good ones pristine, and have the curb rashed one repaired, sell them, and have some money in your pocket?
(Brace for napalm!)

 

Yea...

The TRACK Z wheels are Forged Rays' Engineering wheels just like VOLK and NISMO LMGT4';s..

A new set of LMGT4's will run you 1850 plus shipping if not local...

Here are my prices for the RAYS Track Wheels...

$1119.95 EACH WHEEL front or Rear.

 

Thanks for all the feedback.

I had no idea they (the Rays wheels) were so expensive!

Anyway, would it be possible to have the stock finish touched up by either a wheel repair specialist or a paint/body shop?


Fortunately my curb damage is very minor: basically, I lost a small section of the wheel finish at the lip. The scratch is about the size of a wheel balancing weight. There isn't really any rash at all but I'm missing a strip of paint/clear coat (or whatever they used to finish the wheels).


I was gonna pop for a replacement but that's obviously not cost effective.

 

sometimes when you check out link's you can find some people trying to sale their stock rims so i can suggest checkin out some local 350z owner's and see if you can make a deal... but if not keep trying the dealerships

 

I have 4 of the 18x8 front track rims for sale. There is no curb rash but some very small nicks from the tires being changed. I am asking $450 each + shipping from 85023.
