Ewwww!!! :eekdance: Stock rotors and ride height... Just kidding, rims looks so clean and pimp. I'm too lazy to clean my Z these days.

Yap I used silver high temp paint :stirthepot:

I try to clean the rotors and used the metal polish paste but that did not work well so I decided to spray with flat silver paint. Looks good, better then the pictures shows and I think silver looks better then black (in my opinion):driving:

Not if you have the proper tools.
Goes pretty quick.

See, you know exactly what to use.

... I didn't even see you painted the rotor area behind the wheels... :facepalm: I thought you cleaned the wheels haha either way it looks nice!

SonicZ 05-11-2011 02:12 PM

It's not the rotor but the offset:ugh2:

kenchan 05-11-2011 03:06 PM

sonic- while you have your paint frezy out, if you haven't already (or running aftermarket exhaust), get matte black engine enamel paint and spray the muffler flange you can see rusting from the back where it meets the mid-pipe. :tup:

that was the first thing i did when i got home, actually. :D

My boss drives a BMW 5 Series. Have you ever noticed that 100% of BMW's have FILTHY front wheels? I have no idea why. Maybe the cross between drivers that like to jam the brakes and owners that never wash a car? I know he never washes it EVER. Its a lease and it only gets washed when in for dealer service.

I keep mine spotless. If you keep up with it by using wheel cleaner about every 2 weeks you never get that built up gunk. It just hoses off easy, never more than a minor pass with a brush. Even my truck and my wife's daily driver get spotless wheels.

It also depends on the brake pads u install. Regular ones produce so much dust that u need to clean them pretty much day in and day out. The sports package like Brembo for example creates very little dust but much tougher on your disc rotors. I used to have E550 and I had to clean wheels very often. My Z has sport package breaks and I can see big difference already :roflpuke2:
