OEM 19 painted Carbon

Hi,

After buying my G i realize that unfortunatly my rims were in really bad shape. After looking at some aftermarket wheels i coundn't justify putting 3000$ to get some new wheels that would be as good as the OEM in term of quality.

Finally after seeing a pair of nissan maxima wheels painted Carbon with a semi gloss clear coat, i decide this was the solution for my wheels.

I can tell you that this was a really good decision since the wheels look completely different. Some peoples even think i bought new wheels.

If you want some changes and dont want to invest too much this is a good idea.

Here are the pics:

I went to a professional shop.

Thanks for the comments guys. I decided to post the pictures since it's so hard to decide what color you want when it's time to do it. (I've search the forums alot for pictures of painted OEM and i didn't found many pictures)

I hope this help some peoples

All you need is a drop. Do you have spacers? It looks really good.

I know the drop will look nice but unfortunatly, i live in Qc, Canada and the roads are pretty crappy. I dont think a drop is a good idea

I don't understand when people say i don't want a drop because the roads are crappy. If you drop on Z H-Techs, your ride will be just as smooth as it is now. I've only scraped ONCE when I was going over a 1 foot high speed bump in Chicago. Otherwise potholes and bumps are no issue in ride quality.

Ok you might be right on this but we also have a lot of snow during winter. A drop car can be a issue in that case
