Seriously, nice combo...your wheels really look "business" now!

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. And to aalzuhair especially for helping me get the pics up finally

all_bark, it's good to know no onehateschad, haha I had them powdercoated, with a clear coat. Cost will vary depending on who does it, but i paid $125 a wheel and they can match it to pretty much any color you want, so they don't have to be that dark. i just wanted the darkest gunmetal he had.

Scratchy, the hyundai next to it is my old ride before the Z. I know the single wiper is a little ricy, but that thing is no joke, stripped interior, six piont cage, coil overs, etc... I have a turbo motor for it, but got sick of dumping money into it. that's why i upgraded to the Z, now all my money just goes into the payment

havabooz, me and two friends all had our wheels done at the same time, so he dropped them off at the powdercoater. all i know is that the place is north of sandy hook on rt.36, can't remember the name of the shop. he doesn't fix wheels, but my friend had to get his wheels straightened before he dropped them off to get powdercaoted, i can find out the name of the shop for you next time i talk to him.

those look pretty good, but i think it would look better a bit lighter, not fully silver though and leave the outer lip polished. it would accent the rim color a bit more

Is your hood really carbon fiber? just a quick question after looking at viggdesigns website...

yes it's real, no offense to anyone who would do a fake vinyl hood (hopefully no one on here) but I'm not down with it. It's kinda ironic actually. Me and John from Viggdesigns, even though that's his buisness, we don't like side graphics on our cars. The hyundai has gone through many bright graphics in the past, but that was years ago, it has a subtle graphic on it now just to display viggdesigns work

Looks good... I'd be worried about stuffing a 275 on an 8.5" rim though...
