Yeah... they are the 19" factory OEM wheels. I just loved the style too much to get aftermarkets. F1 Motorsports did this for me back in May. They stripped the finish on the wheel, polished them, and painted the center. I wanted them to be powdercoated, but was recommended not to considering how thin the spokes are. Although doable, it *could* compromise the reliability of the aluminum alloy after being subjected to such high temps. A low temp alternative was available, but there would have been an issue of the powder sticking to the surface which could lead to peeling later.

After 6 months of usage, they still look great with no chipping or scratches. I particularly love the contrast between the lip, the spoke, and the center Infiniti cap. I'm very pleased with the work they did and the overall cost was $1000, which is still a great deal over the $3k+ I was quoted for some volks with a similar style. This included repairs that were needed because the company that shipped my car from Grubbs damaged my wheel.

Again, credit goes to evo4me on the idea for this... he's the owner of that red evo in my pics. BTW, my tints are Forumla One Classic 30% all around.

you all probably have heard of the owner of the blue z. if not, his name is cheston, he's pretty well known on the 350 forums and on maxima.org as well. if you guys are looking to do technosquare flashes, he'd be the guy to ask.

Its a Fujitsubo Legalis R exhaust. I also have the nismo y-pipe which is the same as the Fuji one, but I got it for way cheaper...

Great looking rims! I like it so much, I Photoshop'd a picture of my car with your wheel mod. The stock brushed look is still really nice to me, so I'll have to debate it for a while, but the black looks great too.

overdrv,

in reference to your question about getting emails when you get a pm, you have to go to the control panel, then edit options and choose instant notification for pm.

I have been looking into F1 also, arent the Classic series, regular dyed film Why would u get the cheapo stuff subject to fading and bubbling on your beautiful car? Did you get a lifetime warranty? Any reason why you didnt go with the Ultimate series or Pinnacle series from F1?
