Nismo Wheels in Matt Black

Minicobra1 · 03-29-2010, 03:54 AM

Here are my factory Nismo wheels powder coated in Matt Black (20% Gloss) I'm running 15mm spacers front and rear, with 305/30/19 and 255/35/19 Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

This is the 2nd time I had them done, originally I had them done in a metallic gray but the first powder coater did not chemically strip them or blast them at all. They applied the powder directly over the factory coating and needless to say it peeled right off.

This time I had them done at a place that Berk recommended, and they did a really great job, the finish is excellent and the service was top notch.

Here are the pics:

We do a LOT of wheel powdercoating in this color. I have always liked it.

I think these wheels look very good on the car this color.

Wow, looks fantastic!
No coilovers or springs, correct?

i like this MUCH better than the last color...great that it eventually worked and for the better!

Jjaden · 03-29-2010, 01:20 PM

Looks great. You have me excited.

I'm having my stock Rays done the same colour this week, and having them mounted on Thursday now that the weather is finally good enough to take off the winter Wheels/Tires.

ZPirate · 03-29-2010, 01:27 PM

Wow! Those look nice. Just enough gloss to not make them look too dull.

stormcrow · 03-29-2010, 01:37 PM

ZING! Very nice, man. They turned out spectacular! I wasn't sure I would like the black on this color over the more graphite grey, but I was wrong. Superb choice. And whomever gave you the idea for those offsets...well, they are the coolest!

Looks sick, i like the black more than the grey last time. the spacers push out the wheels perfectly as well.

Yeah, Eibach springs. The lower profile tires tend to give it a bit more gap. I want it about another 1/2 lower, so I'm looking into coilovers right now

Although I will have to remove the front splitter and wheel deflectors, since they rub all the time now.
