Hey there members. Awhile back I started researching getting my Sport rims black chromed. I searched high and low, locally and out of state. I finally found a great outfit that offered an exchange program so I didn't have to go without a vehicle. They did a phenomenal job and I'm super happy with the results. I just wanted to share with anyone out the who may be looking to do the same.

The place that did mine is called La Wheel. Contact Allan or Steve if you want or need any information. allang@lawheel.com

Let me know what you think. Have a great weekend.



'07 Sport (auto) 116,000 and still going strong.





Fresh off a detail.





Close up.


The car looks pretty sick now. I can honestly say there are no other cars out there still that I see and think "Man, I want that." This car's styling was way ahead of its time and people still often ask me how old my car is. When I tell them, they usually say "Wow, that thing looks brand new!!"

Next I'd like to get the chrome accent door/window/trunk lid pieces modified. Still researching the best process. The rubber has weathered quite a bit and I'm worried that removing them may require new rubber pieces. Anyone have any ideas or experience modding the chrome accent pieces? I should say, I'm not interested in black chroming them with dupli-color "shadow" mainly because I did the grill and it's peeling a tad.

 

WOW!!! stunning. Looks so good man A small drop and you'll be set

DigitalSol here is close to the finish you may be lookin for

 

Great job on the wheel finish, those are my favorite OEM sedan wheels by far! Much better than the current 18" G37 Sedan wheels.

 

Thanks for the comment above. To make sure I'm understanding, DigitalSolo did his window trim? On the outside? I searched his username, but only found a post on his interior window plate posting. Thanks again.

 

I agree 100%. G37 Sport wheels don't hold a candle. I like the '07 sport coupe wheels too, but the stock sport's are too pretty not to use.

 

I mentioned him because he's been on the lookout for SSRs with the SBC finish. Yours is darker but he hasn't had any luck finding someone to refinish them somewhat similar to yours

 

Great. I hope it'll help him. It ran me close to $1000 shipping and all. Was worth it I think.

 

Yep I love the sport wheels. They are made by Enkei and are seriously legit.

 

well done! that looks great

 

Not to poke you, but consider painting the rotor hats after wire brushing to protect them from rust. Any high temp paint works fine.
