God the ignorance is palpable. Yeah manufactures know best! Hey 09-11's how's you oil temps doing with no oil cooler? I could name a million things they do wrong. I never said PC didn't chip, in fact I did say it chips. But no one here is going to want to break a wheel down every time a chip happens as I said, therefore dip is a great easy cheap solution. Whether you live in snow environments or not you still have sand blasting out west, rocks and gravel else where, salt water by the oceans etc. I'd never paint because it never lasts! I could also care less about a company I've never heard of who paints wheels. I bet they're real performers :tup:. Funny my enkie rpf1 (which I'm sure has RS beat every way possible) are PC'ed.

Not saying manufacturers do everything the best, just saying painted wheels can't be that bad if that's how they are OEM. I also agree that the environment you live in make a big difference. If you're not by the coast, salt isn't really much of a concern. I also never said I thought Plasti-dip was completely horrible either.

Yes, we're all ignorant because we don't agree with you and we don't like plastidip. That must be it.

Is that an exact match to the 40th wheels color? Looks darker than thought from other pictures I have seen.

dang, you just dont get it do you? :shakes head:



:rofl2:

mr.gurney by far has the bestest 40th to date in my book. :tup:

Lol yeah real winner there :tup:. I especially loved the orange peel and over spray everywhere where the tired to fade gunmetal to silver on the OEM :icon18:

Everyone seems to have great luck too! Keep it up nissan! You make great cars that can turn fast and not shut off. Have great brakes that don't fade and send you into walls at VIR. Great cool running cars that don't need coolers and never have motor, tranny, or rear diff issues at +35k miles. I'd definitely paint cause nissan does :roflpuke2:

Car looks great, just trying to get the most accurate reference image I can for the color combination is all. Kenchan, you're the one who got my mind on those 4th wheels with that sale link s now I am giving it more thought.

Has nothing to do with dip at this point. Its the lack of knowledge about paint. I've stated the truth. Keep being ignorant if you want. I'm out.

Thank God. Hopefully we can manage without someone here to call us brainless, stupid and ignorant.

You brought it on yourself. :tup:

I didn't completely disagree with him. He seemed a bit quick to anger. I don't think any one process is perfect. Was just saying painted wheels wasn't horrible. Didn't say they were the best either, just a legitimate option like powdercoating and even plasti-dip depending on your situation.

By thinking painting wheels is OK, and preferable to plastidip? If that makes me ignorant, so be it.

:tup: i think your car will look very nice with the 40th wheels.

as mr.gurney mentioned, painting your doorhandles to match will give it that extra final touch. :tup:

Might need to see if I can borrow my mom's camry or my sister's accord for a day now to make it happen, haha.

:tup: sounds like a plan. :D
