rear nissan badge needs to be chrome, or black out the front nissan badge. having one black and other chrome looks cheesy. wheels are nice. and what's with the fish on the trunk?

And black out the fish ... or just take it off

I do like the wheels, though, but I hope springs are next on your list.

I actually had the front nissan badge blacked out too but I think someone either stole it or backed into my car and the badge fell off. So I bought a new one from the dealer. Thanks for letting me know, I'll black it out soon and put 3M tape behind the badge to be safe. Oh about the fish, It's a "jesus fish"

Did you pop off the emblems to paint them or did you mask them off and painted them while they were on the car?

The rims are NEX-O TS8 18"x7.5 +42. My brother found them in a Toyota forum. The guy was selling them for $400 and they were wrapped in Kumho Ecsta SPT's 225/45/18 with 90-95% thread! I'll post the picture of the HK D+P tomorrow.

Just put masking tape around the emblems before you pop them off. That way, you can remember where to stick them back on. I like the rims on your signature pic, Jose. what are those? Can you post some pictures of it? Thanks!

Personally I like the chrome emblems better. Once you start spray painting everything one color it starts to look like you went to Maaco for the $100 special. And for the life of me I can't understand why someone would go out and buy a brand new car, spend all kinds of money at a body shop putting on a beautiful body kit but then destroying the entire look by spray painting their wheels black. It looks like you have 4 donuts on your car now. I believe it's Jose3 that has it. Dude go back to the original rims. The car looks so much more expensive that way. Those spray painted black 5 spoke factory wheels are terrible. The car looks so cheap now. Sorry.

SWEET RIDE! - love your rims!!

but, I have a (dumb) question... how did you get the NISSAN center caps to fit on the aftermarket rims? Are they coincidently the same sime as stock OEM nissan wheels?
