Nismo Wheels in Matt Black

I have to say, I'm extremely jealous. This setup looks beautiful!

Those look real good, I gotta say that the Nismo wheels really are one of the best factory wheels available, besides the sport pack ones. I havent loved a factory wheel, for a very long time from any manufacturer. How are you liking the tires, we have gotten very good feedback about them.

Yeah, I agree, I usually don't like the factory wheels either, but Nissan/Rays did a great job. so far Hankooks are treating me good, Not sure I notice any less performance compared to the stock Bridgestones. Improved wet/rain for sure, dry is about the same. I would definitely buy them again for that price.

This is the 2nd time I had them done, originally I had them done in a metallic gray but the first powder coater did not chemically strip them or blast them at all. They applied the powder directly over the factory coating and needless to say it peeled right off.

This time I had them done at a place that Berk recommended, and they did a really great job, the finish is excellent and the service was top notch.

Did the other company reimburse you for their failures?

Well, they didn't reimburse me for the installation on the tires, but they did give me 100% of my money back on the powder job, so that worked for me.

Man...your drop and the spacers look absolutely perfect! Looks like your camber kit worked really well too. I might have to PM you later with some questions! Nice job!
