Those are stock wheels from the 35th Anniversary and 2006+ 350Z.

I HATE painted stock wheels on any car. I don't understand y people do it. I know a set of aftermarket wheels are expensive but I'd rather leave my wheels stock than painted black. Disgusting. Just my opinion though.

Maybe someone who actually powdercoats can elaborate, but from what I understand the amount of heat used to bake the powdercoat onto the wheel isn't enough to effect the structural integrity of the wheel. Those who have issues likely had powdercoaters who burned the original coating off the wheel with extremely high temps instead of media blasting the coating off. The heat used to bake off the finish is what effects the wheels strength. So just make sure your powdercoater uses another method to get the old finish off.

Just got mine back. Can't wait to mount my tires and get them on my car.

I got the set done for a pretty good deal of $250.

Can someone photoshop a platinum graphite 370z with anthracite wheels? Will rep.

I got a quote from a local shop and they willing to do it for $360 for 4 wheels.

Looks great what finish did you go with is that a matte or satin or semi-gloss?
I think I'm going to do mine trying to make up my mind on finish

I went with satin black. Same as what I did with my headlights and fangs/valance. I think it's the best finish to go with PG. Just put on my wheels last night. Still need to do my door handles though.
