Your signature pic looks like my Versa 
I did the same thing to my calipers.
Have you checked kijiji for rims? Sometimes you can get a set that is barely used.

I'm looking at the enkei ev5 specifically... so I'm basically just looking for places to get quotes now. Checked craiglists and kijiji and haven't found any.
I got my calipers painted at a tire place in toronto. They had the nissan decal, so I said why not. Did you paint yours yourself? After 2 years, mine is starting to rust through. Stupid Canadian winters.

Re: Canada Folks: Where'd you get your wheels?
Ya I painted mine myself (and the rear drums), and my brother's SE-R. I sprayed LOTS of clear coat, and the front calipers are perfect. The rear drums were only painted for the first time last summer, and I've noticed a few chips. I'll repaint them before I swap tires again.metallickirby wrote:I'm looking at the enkei ev5 specifically... so I'm basically just looking for places to get quotes now.

Re: Canada Folks: Where'd you get your wheels?
I am currently going through buying a set of wheels from discounttiredirect.com, but over the phone. So far they have been AWESOME. They offer free shipping in the US, so if you have a friend just over the border like I do, that is good, but if not, there are places just over the border where you can have things shipped and when you go to pick it up you just pay a $5 fee.
iluvmyversa08... where did you get the paint/clearcoat? I want to paint mine silver. Also... how did you do the lettering?

I ended up going through tires23 in Mississauga. Getting the Enkei EV5s Hyper Blacks with Hankook V12 K110s.
$1350 incl tax and everything. I figure it was the easiest way. Hopefully will be able to put the wheels on within 1 or 2 weeks. It snowed yesterday....
