The 370z Useless Thread (Coors Lite version)

might as well keep it going until I find a replacement ready to go (if I ever do)

nogoodname · 08-19-2009, 10:57 AM

why did they have to strip the wheels 3 times, something is wack

Caravanshaka · 08-19-2009, 10:59 AM

cause they have monkey's powdercoatiing their wheels...remember Dave's wheels on the "forgestar" thread...I think they are having issues with the place that is finishing their wheels and they are actually catching it in QA now.

depends on the temperature, but heat treating, while you get all of the strength properties back, does absolutely nothing for fatigue properties. so you'll have this really strong but brittle metal on your hands. i'd be worried if i heard my wheels got nuked in the oven three times...

then again, what temps are we talking about? it's too early for me to be thinking straight.

450 degrees phelan

nogoodname · 08-19-2009, 11:02 AM

there's always one rotten one in a herd...lol

Caravanshaka · 08-19-2009, 11:03 AM

btw, walked outside to my car and put up a ruler marked with how much further out the AME's would be and put it against the tire. Stock ride height, they'd be past the fender about 3/8" to 1/2"

FuszNissan · 08-19-2009, 11:04 AM

Dave had like 3 rotten one's in two different shipments too.

nogoodname · 08-19-2009, 11:04 AM

i dont like them....lol

wait for the Vossen, usually 3rd is a charm, but for ur powdercoater it isnt...lol

theDreamer · 08-19-2009, 11:05 AM

How much would the Vossen go for for a set of four?

nogoodname · 08-19-2009, 11:07 AM

they announced it on another forum

a set would be around a MSRP of 2300 for 20 inchers

19 inch available usually

FuszNissan · 08-19-2009, 11:08 AM

I am looking into that as we type

nogoodname · 08-19-2009, 11:09 AM

i already looked into it...lol

FuszNissan · 08-19-2009, 11:11 AM
