that's a clean wheel design, it will look really good on a slammed s13/s14. Good job!

[jds13]

Looks good, I just did my 2 fronts earlier, but with a darker shade of bronze.

[burninskulls0911]

damn i dont know if i want to go with gold or bronze

[sr20deTsomeday118]

UPdate! uber niceness, it was rainy earlier but i finally got off of work and got the newly painted wheels on. and yes for now there is a **** ton of fender gap and yes it is not pretty so deal, otherwise i think it turned out amazing!!!

[Hcraig13]

Looks great. Im a sucker for gold wheels anyways. I really like how you left the Nissan symbol unpainted. Is the car going to stay that color because the gold matches really good.

[sr20deTsomeday118]

yes, color will stay gunmetal, i <3 its awesomeness, when i get the time and money i will bondo and undent her then a professional repaint !!!

[StandardProspect]

wow, looks really good.gold on darker color cars always looks good.great job

[shanelach]

Looks great. I am thinking about doing this my self. Darker bronze or gold. Yours came out great though.

that was kind of a jackoff thing to say..... is it your car? does it affect you in anyway? Are you a real drifter/tuner? are you leonardo dicaprio's gay lover? do you like getting spanked with tuna fish?? it seems like it to me.

[soulflyfn69]

and I like the superman 240 pic, I too have painted the stocks. Def looks better. I think it looks better as a hovercraft tho.

[sharkerio_coupe]

im feelin the gold...cud be better (positive criticism)...you should tire shine and take pics...the goldies deserve it...and it'll look extra fresh

[sr20deTsomeday118]

shiny pics coming in a bit!!

[mrgreeneyes]

[HeckYes]

If you disagreed with him, why'd you put an I'm with stupid icon in your reply to his post???

[Flicktitty]

Anything is better then stock!

looks pretty good though.

[tramp_drift240]

[nissancefiro]

[heartofaskyline]

im not hating, but sorry srsomeday, your more of a newb than he is its ok, heres a bunny with a pancake on his head!

[placham]

OMG,,, are you the guy I talked to at Batteries Plus today???

Because I knew I have seen this car somewhere, when I pulled into the parking lot. Guess where? NICO I didn't notice that u were from Chicago Ridge until now. I'm at Worth IL, Southwest Hwy and Harlem Ave, If your familiar with this area.

Just few days ago I seen a black Pignose hatch looked like it had FMIC around Roberts Rd and Archer Ave around Bedford Park. Looks like there is a lot of S13 and S14 around here but in hiding like endangered species.

I would have slit my wrists if I had to do all that. Working on my car, I have disliked any kind of body work, or prep work for paint and such.

A drop and tire clean up would definitely make it look 10 times better.

I'm glad that you actually broke the tire bead to paint the wheels unlike some people that do this halfa$$

Here is mine not much on outside except S13 front and 17" Work Rezax I, sitin on Tein HE's and Q45 VLSD with 5 lug. STILL WAITING ON THIS GUY TO PAINT HER FOR ME >>>>>BLACK COLOR<<<<<zerothread?id=340227

some other pics: possible power plant '95 KA24DE or maybe Rb20DET clip not sure some other pics

Sorry if I thread jack of weave off topic, just showing some local love

Ho yeah negative comment are G@Y, especially when hard work was put in, unless it's some thing really G@Y and useles from EBAY>

Oh yeah thanks for the help with the OPTIMA RED TOP>

[B-Boy DuB-L]

Honestly i like it so much that i may do this temporarily. Did you wet sand it after one coat and then spray the gold again or no?

[nissancefiro]

lol look its just a comment ok your coupe would look clean if it had better rims than painted stock wheels ok chill man. its just cars stuff.

[sr20deTsomeday118]

yes i am the guy u talked to today in batteries plus!not a prob with the optima, that thing will outlive most of the car parts u have on there.

Honestly i like it so much that i may do this temporarily. Did you wet sand it after one coat and then spray the gold again or no?

no wet sand, just initial sanding, then cleaned with denatured alcohol, then spray 3 coats gold(at about 5 min intervals) and then 2 coats clear gloss(about 5 mins in between each coat)then just wait at least overnight to dry and there u have it, awesome stock rims at the cost of about 25 bucks
