uhh? what the hell is a Lamborghini? i'm not talking about pasta shapes here steve! you can't just go running around making up car companies.

(ok FINE so maybe ALCOA does make a fair amount of wheels, but i'm not a fan of these)

The beauty of these ALCOA wheels is the fact that they are not powdercoated, painted or chromed.

i can certainly see them looking better powdercoated. They are a little much in their highly polished state.

HEHE I like making up companies. :icon17:

They have made some stuff for Ferrari, too. :tup:

Ferrari? you mean these?

:facepalm: sorry for my spelling. Yeah, they make the aluminum foil wrapping.

yea i had a feeling, those wrappers are quality.

I thought you must have sold your Corvette since I no longer see it listed in your signature.

I know what you mean about vehicles you no longer own. I finally got rid of the last set of Corvette wheels I had (the original OEM polished wheels) about 4 months ago. I still have a set of wheels and tires from my 2004 Durango that I sold in 2008 though. I'm not sure why I kept them. :confused:

Including the wheels and tires on the cars, I have 3 sets of 350Z wheels and 2 sets of 370Z wheels.

As m4a1mustang has made clear... just because you're not familiar with their work does not mean they're not wheel specialist because they in fact are (no offense). But really, all that matters is that I like them.

Are you saying that you would actually prefer them unaltered? That's a lot of bling. =P

Back on the topic of my wheels tho... sale is pending payment. Guess someone thought my deal wasn't too crazy afterall =)

Sorry about that. I honestly just assume that if people like those ALCOA wheels they went no further than nissans website for aftermarket wheels which i would believe to be a mistake. I'm sure you have made an informed decision based styles you've seen and thats the style you have decided you like the most. I'm sorry for assuming otherwise.

I think part of the appeal of these wheels is how shiny they are. However, i think that they'd look better powdercoated b/c out of the box i think they'er a bit gaudy for the Z in their shiny state, but then i feel like powdercoating wheels that are that shiny is a waste of their shinyness. Its a vicious cycle. What color woudl you be powedercoating them? I think a gunmetal would look nice on your car.

No biggy... I know I came out sounding harsh and I wracked my brain a bit on how to rephrase it so it would not be so but that was the best I could do. I'm glad you didn't take it the wrong way =)

Yes, you are right in saying I have done my research which I do for anything I put into my car and thank God for these forums for making it easier for me. I do agree that they're pretty gaudy in their original finish which is why I don't want my car seen with them on until after they have been powdercoated. I'm thinking matte black or as you suggested, gun metal... something dark to contrast the pearl white of my car.

yea its all good. yea i think definitely something dark. only reason i'd say not to go matte black is b/c you tend to lose the wheel in the tire. but if you really want something to be black, theres really only one shade to go with :)

not trying to hate on your decision but Why??..lol..Alcoa's are heavier and 1/2 inch thinner..plus the Nismo Rims look better!..im seriously confused..
