19" Chromed OEM Rays installed...pics

Well, here it is. My final determination is that it looks great from about 20-30 feet but when I get up close to the car it's just too much bling. As suggested by several other members, the car needs to be dropped some.

Anyway, I'm willing to trade or sell if someone is interested.

I think they look nice,, very shiny!! like how the offset is pretty flush with body,, dosn't really require a spring drop imo....

they look great, but without a drop they look like 17s because the spoke doesn't fill out the wheel.

I'm working on that as we speak. I'm looking for a set of 370Z front springs.

Just Curious did you do the ebay chrome swap on the OEM's?

I think it looks okay, definitely not bad but I could see it getting old...

I did buy them on E-bay but there was no swap. There was a wheel shop in Washington that had a set of stocks and dipped them.

Yeah, I'd appreciate pics. I've already bought my 370Z front springs and getting them installed Thursday. I'm gonna try cutting the spring support to lower the rear 1/2".

No worries. I installed my 370Z springs and dropped the rear 5/8" last Thursday but I flew out to Calgary the next morning and I haven't even had a chance to really look at the car since I dropped it. I'll be here until Aug 1st...can't wait to get home and wash her down.

BTW, Having been in Calgary for 5 days now I've noticed a lot of chromed rims, even saw a G like mine with chrome rims but he was rolling so I'm not sure what type rims they were.

Anyway, look forward to the pics...I update my pics with the new springs when I get home.

I totally forgot to ask about the caliper paint. Can you tell me what brand you used and all the details please. Thanks.

i used the G2 caliper paint kit. It is strongly reccomended by members on this site. Order from tirerack.com for the cheapest price and great customer service. Also I will be posting pictures tonight!! Sorry about the delay, the weather has been the worst I can remember, not to mention my golf corse is closed for 2 weeks due to floods.

I've used others, but G2 is by far the best quality.
