Damn i wish my winter 17's looked like that!!! I have always loved the finish on those myself.

 

Hmm sounds good, i might do it this weekend if i have time..

 

Key thing to remember, prep.

Sand until your hands bleed.

 

Thanks for the Input.I love my 17's I have alot of things to do to my car when I hit the ground and doing the rims will be one of them. I think Im just gonna save the money on the wheels and add some love over to my GSR.

Also Anyone here ever dealt with everythingg35.com? I have ordered 3 times from them and it seems I always end up canceling because they take way to damn long to send anything out.

I just Ordered a Z tube and JWT pop charger for the Winter/Rainy mounths. Along with some PIAA extreme whites for the fog.They haven't replyed to any emails and when I have family call to ask whats up they keep saying that,They have items back ordered.I think Im gonna have to cancel with them again,or has other people experienced this?

 

One little trick i've found that really makes them pop is to claybar the wheel down, and then wax it. First thing i did when i bought the car was pull all 4 wheels off, clean the hell out of the rims (front and inside) then clay bar them (front and inside) and then wax them. I usually do it every 6 months or so.

It's one reason i haven't bought a set of OEM 19's yet. Every set i've looked at is either curbed, or the finish just isn't that good. I'm just picky.

 

Actually, I didn't experience any issues from doing this. I worked on one caliper at a time. When you disconnect the brake line from the caliper you will have the fluid drip for a long time until the pressure is gone and the fluid in the reservoir will go down a bit so you want to top it up, but otherwise air will not get into the system as you say it will. Once you reconnect the line to the caliper, you just do the normal bleeding on that one caliper and you are fine. Some will also plug the hole on the brake line with something to stop the fluid from dripping while it’s disconnected, it's not a necessity, but if you got something that you could use for doing that, then do it.

 

You can always get coupe 19s powdercoated gunmetal or silver. I was lucky to have found a set in mind condition with a fresh coat of paintt

 

I like the original finish. I'm not big on PC'ed wheels. I've passed over a few sets already.

 

I think they look great gunmetal.

 

Looks great dude! Mind sharing your suspension setup with me?

 

hmmmmmmm a brush... painting the calipers...

time for a project for me. besides, i painted my engine cover and i need to touch up on that also with a brush =D
