[Silver Dollar]

very nice

[LegendRacer]

Nice rims!! where did you order those? and how much?

[DEVND32]

did u paint those?

[stsxcrle]

Looks great. I didn't think I'd like the red, definitely changed my opinion.

[Sparktree]

When you painted the calipers, did you take them off or did you paint straight on them, just taking off the wheels? I am planning on painting mine as well, but it seems its gonna be a pain to paint them with the brake pads.

[SniperJoe]

Very nice job ... well done.

[GryStrm]

awesome mods..i have some questions tho!

1. how did u deal with the tpms issue on new wheels?2. do your hids have an issue with the auto on feature?

[itsjustbusiness]

Thanks everyone!

LegendRacer- GET YOUR OWN RIMS! lol - but tirerack (They were like 290 per rim)Stsxcrle- red FTWSparktree- I took them off

Grystrm-1) I just deal with the warning light. It's really not that big of an issue. TPMS is more of a luxury than a necessity2) I don't think the 2.5s have the auto on feature unless I've never used it? lol but it hasn't had any problems for me

Clean lookin' coupe there mate!The 2.5 does have the auto feature, but I doubt I'll ever use it. Still, I wonder if HIDs affect it...

[Canadian Coupe]

Dude.. I am so tempted to steal your rims.

Those would look hot on a Dark Slate / Niagara Grey/

[itsjustbusiness]

thanks matelol I didn't know! I'll try it out tomorrow and let you know how HIDs have affected it

FIND YOUR OWN RIMS! haha I spent a couple months finding the perfect ones but if you REALLY need to get them I guess that's cool. It'd be nice to have a twin coupe - sorry to break it to ya - those rims were MADE for precision grey

I have HID's in my 2.5 and the auto's do affect it, starting it in AUTO with the HID's trying to come on immediately the right side won't fire, although if I turn them off then back to AUTO, it turns on fine.

My theory: When left in auto and you start the car, the car seems to turn the headlights on first when going through on mode to start then tries to start the engine. The ballast can't take the voltage drop and won't fire.

But again just turning it to off back to auto fixes this. I just leave it in off until I need them on then I just flip to Auto, works every time.

[08Coupe]

Most cars with auto light switches need a relay (gives a full power on) when you convert to HIDs, The factory HID's work fine with auto on my car..

To the OP Rims and breaks look great!

[D-Roll]

Nice effing job!! I love it

[NissNEZ08]

Wow, very nice job on the calipers and I love your choice on the wheels. Very nice!!

[LongBeachCoupe]

i have auto on my 2.5 xentec head/fog setup... no issues ever

[maxentropy]

I am SOOOOOOOO buying those wheels... I am TOTALLY in love with em!!!

AGAIN, NICE CHOICE!

[Frozer!!!]

Looks very nice. One thing though. Cant the nismo decal peel off easily from rain, dirt, snow salt?? Unless you put a lot of clear coat over it.

[itsjustbusiness]

Thanks again matesFrom what I've heard the decals are supposed to be pretty weather resistant...If they do fall off though just get another set! they're only like 7 bucks

EVERYONE GET YOUR OWN RIMS!

[maxentropy]

EVERYONE GET YOUR OWN RIMS!

For me, it's always been between the Borbet XLs or Konig Troubles for my dark slate 3.5 -- still trying to decide.

I really could care less if a few other people have the same rims as me. There is a saying... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

[itsjustbusiness]

lol well to quote herman melville:It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation

And of course I'm flattered so if they really peak your inteirest go for it man. Just FYI the Rims also come with a dark slate-y back instead of the black.

[180sxgirl]

damn that looks hot didn't think I would like the red either, but looks really nice!!

[saywat]

koo rims

What size were your stock rims? Did you have the 16s or the upgraded 17s? Also, do you know how much the stocks weigh? The reason I'm asking is because I just came from a car where the wheel weight made a significant impact on performance... I'm wondering if these rims (being 22lbs for the 17" size, more for your 18") make acceleration noticeably slower........

[itsjustbusiness]

Mine were 16 inch stockers lol. Acceleration wise- it wasn't noticeably slower. Ride-quality wise- noticably worse (just because of smaller width tires)...All in all a fair trade for the look. GET YOUR OWN RIMS THOUGH =)

[niztec]

i have aftermarket HIDs and they seem fine when its in auto....

[windhaven]

Sweet look, very, very clean, and I noticed an especially clean paint job. What brand of paint did you use?

...... And ...... i'm not buying your rims .......
