not a nismo^ the red interior would be so clashing. also... i'd recommend another color for your calipers

What do you guys think?

You can drive over from NOLA and mount mine on your car to see what it will look like.

Can someone speak to whether powder coating actually weakens a wheel as some people say??

I have heard this before, but don't think that a 400 degree bake could significantly decrease a wheels strength.

Thoughts?

Yeah I think the gun metal will look good. The orange wheels look good on this Porsche but I am not sure if it will look good on a silver nismo. Maybe you should photoshop one see if you like it yourself.

There is a lot of speculation. All I can say is I have over 20000 track miles on various powdercoated wheels and have never had a failure. The only failure I have ever seen it was posted that the powdercoater ran the wheels through a burn off cycle to remove the original finish, and that is usually at 6-800 degrees, which can harm them.
