Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone wrapped their wheels?

I also wonder if the spray on paint is flammable being such proximity to the brakes. ...just a thought.

I doubt high temps would play much of a factor for wheel paint? But if so, VHT paint is designed for high temps.

Good call... just trying to avoid a track-day-fire.

you can get them stripped and re-powder coated in a host of different colors for around $500 for the whole set. Bet that's competitive with a custom wrap.

I also do not think a wrap on the wheels would last.The 20" wheels on my Tundra truck I had powder coated.Cost me $700.Look great and are very durable.I would go that route.Cheaper than getting new wheels and replaceing wrap every 2 years.
