Got Enkei's for my Versa (Before/After Pics)

[metallickirby]

Got 17-inch Enkei EV-5. Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 (205/45/17)

BEFORE:





AFTER:

Stupid calipers are starting to rust though. So expensive to get them grinded down and painted again though. Don't have enough money right now.
If anyone knows a shop in or around Toronto that do grinding/caliper painting, let me know. The place I went to before is charging $120ish plus tax now.

Griding your calipers? It would be more effective and cheaper to wire brush them rough, do a good prep, then repaint them yourself.

I agree. Wire brush the rusted areas, and then repaint over it.

Also, nice wheels, I eyed those ones before settling on mine now.

Did you have a shop paint your calipers? They did the same thing I did ...
I painted mine with the decal last spring, and they haven't rusted or chipped.

By the way, rims look good. You should come to the next GTA meet.

Yea. I had a shop do it. I'm not "technically" inclined enough to do it myself.

Glad I just ordered 17s. they fill up the wheel wells just like I wanted.
