Can anyone help??
 
Hey everyone!

Im new to the site, but I think by reading some posts I know how things work here. I just bought a 2011 370Z, and im looking to get the wheels powdercoated black (satin, glossy), I have a guy who said he can do all of them for me this Friday, however, I still cant find a decent picture of a base model stock wheel powdered coated black with a red exterior. If anyone can help me and edit the image of the vehicle (not mine but similar) so that I have some idea of what it will look like before I go ahead with the process.

Thanks a lot!

Search here...it will look fine either way. On a site not, with a set of 18"s you shouldnt pay more then $75 a rim...or around $300 all together AT MOST

Yeah he is quoting me 380-400 for all of them including the prepping, sandblasting, coating, removing tires from the wheels, then putting them back on and aligning them...that a lil over priced? and yeah I have been looking I keep finding nismos but no base models with the stock blacks.

just ask someone to photoshop it for you in that thread. As for the price, it does honestly seem a bit high but if you just want to get it done and arent worried about the extra $100 whatever. That whole process he gave you is standard, hes not preforming anything special there so its not like he should charge you extra for some special service.

Unless hes actually going to give your car an alignment, that usually runs $80 to $100....that would explain the extra. I dont see the need for an alignment just for unmounting your rims though, cant hurt I suppose.

i think he means balancing them...(?)

Yeah, I mean im gonna go and actually see him friday and make sure that hes actually doing all the work he actually told me hes doing, because so far everything said was over the phone, so things may not be accurate, and also ill see if he can even reduce the price, but thanks for the input! :tup:
