I don't normally powdercoat wheels, but....
 

Rogue370z designed, built, maintains and hosts my business website, all for free, so other than myself, he is the only one I coat wheels for.

I bought these Nismo 370z wheels from BLKNIZMO in August, and finally got around to coating them. I don't coat wheels because of the time involved and that I always have a backlog of brake calipers waiting to be done. However, I finally found myself with a free day, so I got them done tonite.

I'm still deciding what color to coat the ones I take off of his car, which will be my new track wheels, leaning to neon orange right now, but thats a different matter.

Anyhoo, here is one, done in satin black.

looks amazing. hey mike...is it possible to mask off the nismo lettering and leave that uncoated? ive been wondering if its possible...

yes, that would be possible, but tricky. the masking tape would have to be pulled right before the powder started to totally melt, but while it was melted enough to stick to the wheel still. Otherwise, you would get rough edges. I think it would probably be easier and more efficient to handcut vinyl letters after the coating. hmm, might try that on mine.

Your work is always top notch. They look great! I can't wait to see them on the car!

they should look pretty hot on his white Nismo!

dude mike that looks sick. Ima be jealous.

That looks absolutely awesome! I would put that in my Z in a heartbeat! :tup:

Very nice! :tup:

Now that I looked at the wheel again, what you think about painting the NISMO letters RED? Yes ? NO?

looks sick

Sick! Red lettering would be nice!

Um.. I'm not a fan of painted or powder coated wheels but that looks awesome. Hrm, I may have to reconsider my prejudice against modified stock wheels. ;)

:iagree:

Mike these came out great. Be sure to get installed pics

Thanks!

I think that would look pretty hot, or maybe silver NISM and red O. Thats what I have on my S-tune wheels, but in vinyl.

yah, it would definitely take it up another notch with silver and red lettering. :yum:

Are those nismo s-tune wheels? If yes, may I ask how much u paid for em?

the ones in this thread are the OEM nismo wheels, but mike does have a set of the S-tune wheels for sale in the classified section.

S-tunes are in my avatar pic. Bought them new from a forum member who sold his car and I paid 2000 for them. They are no longer for sale though, I actually like them better than these nismo wheels, so they will remain my street wheels, Rogues takeoff nismos will be powdercoated some other color and be my track wheels, and my 18" track rays setup is now for sale. At least this week.

ahh damn sorry i was confused onto which ones u were selling.

I confuse myself on that issue sometimes! I also still have three sets of corvette wheels and two sets of 240z wheels in the shed too

if you had a set of those black corvette wheels in that other thread.. we'd be talkin!

Nice color:tup:

any on the car pics as of yet :tiphat:

no, they wheels are at the bodyshop getting the centercaps color matched and a red ring painted on them.

had the bodyshop add a time attack ring in paint.

That looks so hot. If I didn't like polished lips so much, I would be all over that. I want to see the neon orange wheel.

lookin good mike! :tup:

sexy, I like the red stripe. Mike, what is the turnaround time to powdercoat brake calipers once they get to you?

If we coordinate their arrival, two days. If they show up out of the blue, it could be up to a week.

NICE!!! I want to get this done!

Very NIZE Mike!!!

Thanks John!

I was playing with vinyl today, we are going to go with this, since they will be on a white car:

Well Done! You have made me want Nismo wheels!

So, apparently, my buddy Jeremy hasn't been posting lately. I hate to steal his thunder, but he will probably also never see this thread, since he hasn't yet.

So.......
