if anyone chooses to do this in the future use duplicolor wheel primer, paint and clear. i used this combo over powder coating because high temp. powder coating weakens forge aluminum wheels. Here are pics of my wheels and i have steps to painting if anyone is interested. mine held up for over a year and are still just as nice as they were the day i painted them.

this was on my evo, but the results would be the same on the g35. i have more recent pics with better shots of the wheels and ill post those later

Good effort. I like the silver center.

One thing...since this is a lease, I assume you'll need to return it back to stock after....will you just refinish it to the original color?

good question reason why i painted it instead of powder coating it was for the fact that i had to return it. Im going to use paint thinner to take it all off, i tried the thinner on the stock rims before i painted it and it had no negative effects on the stock rim. So yea painthinner it before i return it.

How did you mask the tires off so you don't overspray on them? masking tape?

maybe a polished lip would have made it look 1000 times better.

Looks good anyway
