The sueded areas? Goodluck. Might be best to use cool water with a small amount of detergent and a bristle brush. I say cool water because if that doesn't work you won't set it permanently. Avoid hot water. Counter-intuitive. Google could help you here.

So my TPMS alert went off. Checked my tire, had a 4 in nail in it. Yeah 4 inches. Didn't go flat so took my Z home. Ordered a replacement from tirerack.com. Got my tire within 24 hours and 200 bucks off. Awesome. Took my tire up to Nissan Greenbrier. Never been there before and thought it would be a safe bet since I'd never had a car with TPMS and didn't want to risk a discount place messing something up with my TPMS or scratching my rim. So I went to the dealership and the service manager was amazed I had a NISMO. (Confirms I should continue to do business else where so my Z doesn't get ridden for a joy ride). But I will say I appreciated his honesty because I told him my concern about getting a scratch or chip on my rim and he recommended I go to a pro rim shop who has more advanced equipment that will not scratch the face of the rim. The certified tech came out and confirmed the manager's thoughts. The tech also said he had a 240 and runs a speed shop in Chesapeake called Trust Auto 757-406-1600 (Brandon). Nice guy.
So I'm going to try Professional Rim Repair Monday. Think a couple of you guys have used them before. Thoughts? Also: Does the Z come stock with nitrogen in the wheels? Anyway you can tell? Is there anything I should know about TPMS?

Mine didn't have nitrogen in the tires but I got it used. It doesn't cost much to get nitrogen, and the set up I have makes it so anytime I need nitrogen I take it to the dealer and it's free of charge.

He has a good deal going for him there. Typically dealers charge $200 for that. Yeah. $200!!!!
![]() You can tell if there are green caps on the valve stems. If not, no nitro. |

Mine just have a different valve cover that says Nitroair or some crap like that. And I carry the memo or whatever it is they gave me in my glove box just in case I need more nitrogen down the line.

Got my tire back. Looks awesome. Very happy with their shop and their work. I will be using them in the future.
