Okay so I drove around with these on one side for a few hours... I've never had more people stare/laugh/smile/point etc. at my car lol.. I was a little bit embarrassed. Anyway.. Here is the pic you requested lol

This is what a 370z with pink wheels looks like..

It's really difficult to take a good picture of this color for some reason.. Looks really washed out in this picture.

You obviously have never met a person that knows how to properly use a spray can. It's all about prep and the amount of time you're willing to put into the job.

I know we are talking about wheels here, but I've been toying the idea of repainting a guitar with a rattle can. Here's a few examples of how good you can get a spray painted finish (with proper prep and wetsanding)




Just saying, don't knock spray paint. Knock the kids that can't properly use it.

It is not that bad in my opinion, not something I would do personally but props for putting your cajones on the line.

lol Thanks. I'd probably get shot if I showed up to the track with these. My city is full of import haters..and pink wheels would just push them over the line. I'm hoping the black turns out good. There were a lot of rough areas in the tight spots of the wheels so I'll need to sand them down before the next color

Now is the time to take it to the track. Make sure you talk with a Long Lisp too.
See how many lose to the guy with pink wheels.

BTW,
You are certified crazy and must have a Ball bra to carry those around.

This wouldn't have happen if you had your wheels delivered on time...

This could have been avoided!!

prep, painting technique, and polishing technique. i rattle can stuff a lot. recent project was my Ings+ front lip. 3 levels of wetsanding, 5coats of UV protectant, 2 levels of polishing using my random orbital. turned out factory finish. all for $15-20 in material cost, but a lot of labor (free).

as you said, it can be done.

What wheels are you waiting for? No custom wheel should take 6 months!
