looks great man. i vote no on the TA though.

 

Looks good u should of pained your calipers..

 

hey i wanan paint mine glossy black with a red ta stripe where can i get the ta stripe to just use pinstriping right plz help i wanan do this to my dg coupe

 

I think you can probably find it on ebay

 

This is what Rays look like with semi-gloss powder coat.

 

I love the TA look.

 

You dont have a DIY on this do you? I got quoted $400 from a local paint shop to paint my rims. How much did this end up costing you, and how long does it take?

 

Do a search in the DIY section, there are definitely a few of them. I think total for materials it cost me about... 80 or 90 bucks. It actually cost me more but that's because I didn't have a full set (4) jack stands and had to buy two.

Powdercoating or professional painting are going to look better than if you do it yourself, but they also cost a lot more. Mine works fine for now, though eventually I'd like to re-paint mine with a higher gloss paint.

 

..hmm, I think I've spotted another graff writer..

Sekt0r..

 

nice gloss black, wish i had the ***** to paint mine. after i experiment with my 18's i will do it on the rays.

 

I just recently painted my 18 350z wheels. I'll post up pictures this weekend. Cost me about 50 bucks to do it myself. Turned out pretty good.

 

re: red G37

i like the lip matching the car's paint color. agree that you should paint the calipers.

 

Any one has black oem rims but in an ip coupe

 

Powder > spray any day.. costs a whole lot more but the finish is perfect n most importantly durable.. no chipping or flaking

 

Not to be a dick, but you're wrong.

Powdercoating has it's place but it isn't always the best way. I would much rather spray wheels then powdercoat them.

You get one flaw in your powder coat, congrats, chemically strip and recoat them, also even a good powdercoater can't replicate the finish of paint.
