Hey bro, im sorry to bug you with another chop. But I saw these rims awhile back and they grew on me. Unfortunantly I couldnt find a pic of them on a car. :\





And then you did this chop before for me, they are the same rims just a different color. I just thought Id throw it in there just in case if it would help.



And thank you bro, this will most likely be the last chop I need.

Thats actually the exact same rim I'm looking at. I like them alot and I also love the price. The only thing I dont like is the chrome lip. But other than that I think they look really nice.

Haha x12

So is there a way to paint chrome? Cause on the V's grilles there is chrome and people have painted those....then again the grilles are also plastic.

There's a difference between chrome and a part that has been chromed. The V's grille has "been chromed". It's a plastic part that has had a thin layer of chrome or a chrome-like material (sometimes rhodium) applied to give it that effect. On something that has "been chromed", you can grind or sand through this... depending on the thickness it may take little or lots of effort.

On something that is actually made OF chrome, well... can't paint that so easily. You might be able to anodize it, though... not sure.

the front grill the "fake chrome look" has nickel and cooper in it... u sand it down with a scotch brite and clean it up and paint over it... just get the chrome part off and if you see a little cooper then you have gone too deep but it will still be fine... and if you do it right it should all be a even coat of paint on it...

The Kazera KZ-A has a machined (polished) lip, not chrome. Therefore, painting should not be a problem (although I prefer it as is). What I don't like is the extra set of lug holes.

It doesn't look too good with black - all chrome would be better - just my 2 cents

Just got my new versa, and im concerned about clearance for anything above stock. Man it looks like a tight squeeze. There is a lip on the shock that doesnt look like it would clear anything about a 15 inch.

I have been looking at those wheels as well. I see alot of people with what looks like 18's and was wondering if they had to do any mod to the lift of the vehicle?

I have also been looking at the Enkei Evo 5 Hyperblack.

anyone that have made the move to a larger wheel, i would love to hear what you would have to say about it.

Thanks.
