so i went head and filed down the raised portion of the damage from the tire mounter dork mishap (they have the right hunter tire mounter but the arse who did the repair was careless). then used 400grit sand paper, then 1500 grit sand paper, and tried 8 different kinds of metallic paints all with fail... :icon14:

so i pulled out my foil tape, mounted it onto the spoke, rubbed brake dust as compound onto the foil to lessen gloss and to slightly polish to get the dark deep color to match the wheel's hypersilver color. i think turned out pretty good. my wife could not tell where i did the repair even outside in the sun. :p

can you tell inside the red circle?

Hey Ken, what's with the thing looking like foil just above the red circle on that first pic of yours? :ugh2: Was that the repair shop's handy work? You going to repair that too? :(

Haha, that's what I mean, the part you are pointing to is not damaged at all and just a reflection from the camera flash so you can't tell I fixed it either. :p

:iagree:

I drove my Z to work today. I want to leave early just so I can enjoy driving it home.

Looked to see if it was for sale on Fusz's site yet.

thanks! :tup: works great on polished lip wheels too (where i first tried it a few yrs ago).

Well, I was going to wash my Z today, until I saw the pristine condition of Ken's wheels.

Now I feel depressed!

:rofl2: in my case it works against me because if the wheels were dirty you wont see any of the chips the tire mounter goof made... :icon14:

I turned off VDC and enjoyed the 60 degree temps this morning.

Purchased a new set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires for the Nismo rims I just bought from Trooper. And there is a $60 mail in rebate on them too. :tup:
