looks good, a little drop, some spacers, and it would look almost perfect

I just got some Black lugnets from FORGED that I will be putting on this week. I will try to get some better pics.

Thanks! I didn't know anyone made black lugs in the style we require.

ClemsonWill 11-16-2010 03:11 PM

Great job! They look perfect!

toxik 11-16-2010 03:16 PM

good job with the nismos mike, it's funny I was actually thinking about lettering the same way but thought it would be too expensive with taping off and paint.

PS. is the thread title a play on the Dos Equis world's most interesting man commercials? "I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis"?

Ty Weezy 11-16-2010 03:16 PM

Mike is the white and red lettering on the "nismo" done in vinyl? Looks good!

chicklet 11-16-2010 03:19 PM

Looks awesome Mike and Rogue!!!

Hehe you pcoated wheels for me back in the day Mike! What a pita that was huh?

Rogue...make sure they will work with OEM wheels...the majority of aftermarket lugs will not.

Jeffblue 11-16-2010 03:23 PM

amazing work mike. :tup:

There is Jeremy! /wave

Mike 11-16-2010 05:52 PM

nice!

The lettering is vinyl. I can sell them for 25 per set, shipped, in red,silver, black or white, or any combo. I can also get custom colors if needed. I sized them so they fit in the indentations perfectly. I also have them slightly larger for other nismo wheels without relief cuts, like my s-tune wheels.

$25 per set as in per wheel or for all four wheels? I might be interested in this :tup:

Mike 11-16-2010 09:20 PM

All four wheels

bezzita 11-17-2010 05:51 AM

Mike pm sent ;)

Rogue370z 11-17-2010 12:13 PM

Removed Rays lugs. The NISMO wheels have a different type of lug nut on them. Back to stock chrome for now.

Rogue I would suggest using plasti-dip on the lug nuts for the matte black look.

You have the new style lugs...McGard might make something that will work (in black).

Plastidip will not hold up when installing or removing the lugs. :icon14:

umm nothing will, its metal against metal, even painted lugs will still get the paint damaged.

chicklet 11-17-2010 03:35 PM

If they are anodized or metal coated they will stand up pretty well...hand threaded and then torqued. No impact!

A simple spray paint and even powdercoating will not.

Mike,

Can you do the same for me? Black letters with a red O. I'd like to add some color to my Nismo wheels.

wow that looks awesome. i may have to get these some day. $25 seems a little steep considering its just vinyl, but no doubting the extra appeal it gives the wheels!

HKYStormFront 03-24-2011 03:42 PM

yea that looks really good :tup:

I'd gladly pay $25 for them. All you have to do is put them on.

kenchan 03-24-2011 04:06 PM

hey, those letters look good! :tup:

Mike 03-24-2011 08:39 PM

Zpirate, sure, no problem. just paypal the 25 to sales@thepowdercoater.com and I will cut them tomorrow.

you are welcome to scan a wheel, take the image and convert it to a cuttable file yourself, then actually buy the cutter and make the stickers, I'm sure you can do it for less. ;)

Ron 03-24-2011 08:52 PM

I have them too and I agree.. they are def worth the $25.. never got to say thanks to Mike..thanks Mike!

Mike 03-24-2011 08:55 PM

glad you like them Ron,

and as an FYI, tj wanted a couple extras since he perfected his installation, and even though I throw in a couple extra to begin with, two more are headed his way tomorrow. When you buy from me, its a lifetime mod, without additional charges for replacements down the road.

Ron 03-24-2011 09:02 PM

can I get a replacement set but this time in white letters lol jk. I am planning on powder coating the wheels and will buy again from you when I do.

Mike 03-24-2011 09:10 PM

I'll take care of you!

Red__Zed 03-24-2011 09:27 PM

Lettering on the rims looks amazing.

Gunzero 03-25-2011 12:46 AM

great skill :0
