.. not that i dont luv my nismo wheels.

ZeNato · 07-29-2014, 01:36 PM

Hit a curb with my Nismo... stupid drains, why they have to put those in the grass. Was pulling into a stall in between 2 parked cars and found out that it was only half a stall! hhhhhh guess I shoulda kept my Carbonsignal front lip on order.

kenchan · 07-29-2014, 02:03 PM

our cars have terrible visibility in tight space.

yah, make sure to call ahead and check to see if they have the touchless mounters.
if they have that, usually you come out with no marks just as long as the tech
doesn't mess up.

also a good idea to remove your weights, clean your barrels, remove
center cap, any centering rings if aftermarket, and your valve caps.

roll them into the store loose so they dont use their impact guns and
scratch up your lug bores.

Find a local outlet for these guys:

Kwicksilver Wheel Repair – Rim Repair & Alloy Wheel Repair Franchise

They fixed a really nasty rash on one of my Rays and I have to work very hard and look at the photo I took of the original damage to find it.

You are correct..A little homework up front saves a lot of heartache. I love my Nismo wheels..

Finally got all my parts on besides the new lugs. Exhaust came in yesterday and was put on today, everything else was put on last week.

Meisterschaft axleback, Swift springs, SPL rear camber arms, Toe bolts, Forgestar F14's. Just need to put on my Muteki lug nuts that came in today. Will probably get project kics next year when I upgrade the wheels.

Not my wheels that i hit a curb with. was perpendicular parking in between 2 cars and didnt see that the space i thought i was pulling into was actually an area for the excess water in the grass to drain into and had a curb occupying half the "parking" space. Picked up some 5 inute epoxy to try and fix the broken mounting tabs on my front bumper so I can attempt to reattach the bottom splash shield.

that's cool. i like how the front and rear wheels have different concavity on those wheels. some folks run wheels with deep concave on the front which makes it look like some AWD car.

Lol, interesting concept. I remember back in the day people would run wide rear wheels on their FWD cars. A RWD car mimicking AWD is something else.

IMO, concave everywhere!

yah, concave is the shitts right now.

but no one quite has the concavity
of my WEDS. most of them shy away when the spokes poke slightly past the lip
like the weds do.

i like to do it like i mean it.
