The 275's fit fine, no problems at all. i wouldn't go any bigger than that on an 8.5, 275 is definitly the max

 

What's the name of the palce that powercoated them? Was it Rayco II? Please let me know--

 

that sickkkkkkkkkkkk

 

so what tire set up are you running on front and back

 

Looks very nice!

 

Traffic, It wasn't Rayco, it's ABC Powdercoating in Belford on rt. 36. If you go there, let him know that you heard about him through John at Vigg Designs.

kopo, I have 245/40 front, 275/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sports (i ordered 245/45's for the front, but they sent me the 245/40's)

Thanks everyone for the positive responses

 

Chadhatesu, saw your wheels at ATCO 2 weeks ago, they look great and I'm thinking about powder coating my TRACK rims too.... BTW, how much are they? and what's the final cost for doing this powder coating on 4 wheels (including old tire removal, new tire mounting/balance, but minus Michelin tires)? Thanks man, and they look so much better than stock....

 

350z-z33, yeah i think we talked real qiuck while i was in the staging lanes , anyway. The place i went charged me $125 a wheel including clear coat for the powdercoat. So $500 total. i didn't pay for my tires to be mounted and balanced because i did them myself at a friends shop, but most shops will charge $20-$25 a wheel, i think. So figure around $700 total including mounting and balancing (that's $100 dismounting and $100 to remount the tires)

I also had my center caps painted to match, I don't remember if i had them in at Atco that sunday. The shop that powdercoated my wheels happened to have a body shop in the same building, so they did my center caps, no extra charge. They removed the Nissan emblem and put it back on, so it looks factory

 

looks great, i went with that dark gunmetal as well and i think it looks that much better with the gloss... i love your car (i have a new background on my computer now ! )

 

Haha, thanks spdu4ia

 

Looks great. I am picking up a set of Performance wheels this after noon. I am powdercoating them gunmetal also but for free . Did you have to get them sandblasted before?

 

No sandblasting, because the factory finish is powdercoat. You can powdercoat over powdercoat, anything else, paint, chrome, etc...would need to be sandblasted first.

 

wow that looks pretty nice. i like the picture from the side. i am pretty impressed.

 

I am having a hard time getting some questions answered about powdercoating wheels on my threads, can you guys chime in and give me some advice?

Why? I've been running my races wheels with 275/40/17 V700's on a 7.5" rim for a couple years now without problems.
