big thanks to S 854 (peter) for being awesome and keeping these wheels for me for so long. 18" 350Z track wheels, im going to redo them either black or a really dark grey not sure yet but heres a couple pics. I think to make it look perfect it needs maybe a 5mm/10mm spacer up front and a 5mm on the rears, it needs MOAR LOW in the front too.




the wheel i started on



i still have a ways to go, i might just get lazy and have them powdercoated, i hope this wheel thread doesnt end up like the last one i started

Plastidip is crap imo, I dont get how people use that for wheels.

^^^^ Once I saw plasti-dip I knew you were a scroll away! LOL no seriously Plasti-dip is always getting bashed but it really is a good cheap product. HOWEVER, after taking a bashing from the (Big Spenders) i can honestly say it can't compete with a good spay job. It does work well as a base. I used it basically like filler primer and did some wheels white. turns out wheels looked FUGLY on guys car so got a blade and poof. well not poof like 2 hours peeling that ish off.

yeah six bucks of joy if you wanna practice. Nothing on real paint but if you F up you'll be happy! Hella horns vibrate and plasti-dip is more plastic compound not rubber so it cracks easy thats why it peels. It should give you 6 months on some wheels if not clear coated or painted over. Mine have plastidip then filler primer then paint so it been a year and I sold em guy hasn't complained yet! If you redo the horns try a light clear on top should help.

OP whats your drop?
