Pics of my 370Z with 20" custom painted wheels
 

dieter > 370Z

I bought 20" Advanti wheels and I had them powder coated and painted with Nissan Pearl White two stage paint. I also tinted the windows 35% all around.
I plan on buying the Amuse Vestito kit as well.

Wheels with tire package $1900

Paint $1200

paint 4 wheels for $1200????? that's crazy expensive dude....

If you have time, stop by our NoVA cars and coffee on Saturdays. We alternate between Fair Lakes in Fairfax, VA and Maryland.

Beautiful

I'm guessing it's expensive because it's not a straight up single paint job. Prepping the wheels for different colors is intense. Looks good, though. Probably worth it.

Very cool! I second what Jon said, come on out to Fairfax one weekend. The MD/NOVA group would love to see it in person.

FWIW good shops around here will charge about $1000 to powder coat 4 19 inch wheels in one solid color, so 1200 isn't out of line depending on where he took the car.

Awesome. I got to start a journal myself.

Wow maybe California is just cheaper then... Sorry from what I see in the pics he bought black wheels and just painted the outer lip white. Didn't take the face and barrel apart to take the whole barrel.

Looks good with the color scheme though!

Interesting TRONish look.

I like it, looks awesome.

nice i like the custom painted wheel look. You pay for quality..and my friend that is quality!

my rims got powdercoated black for 60$ a wheel. just fyi

Yes it is not cheap. I planned about $400. But if you want a good job you must pay more. Several body shops quoted me prices. And those cheaper prices are not powder coated. So one rock chip will start your whole wheel flaking away. They had to apply many coats of paint. Then put it in the oven. Take it out, wait for drying. Then recoat. Reheat. etc.. Also pearl white is a two stage paint. So it takes longer. This shop only does wheels. Not a body shop.

Great. I didn't know there was a group locally.

Thanks. I was going to have the weels all white. But I saw a great color combo from a Porsche Cayman with a TechArt kit. Afterwards it made me change my mind.
