def plasti dipping and then i can paint over them any other color. ive never used photoshop either....
R5s are sick though but they are heavy
R6s which are the same size as ours stock weigh 27lbs!
if nissan rays end up not working out I will still get R5s

I wont be plasti diping until it gets warmer. Any kind of painting in 32 degree weather isnt very efficient...
Once I put those on I'll take a pic for ya
....which could be tonight or maybe not until next week since I have hw thats due tonight at midnight and I was supposed to meet up with friends at ze baaaEDIT:

Some wheels are directional…from the pattern on the wheels, they look like they could be…are they? Have you checked? If that is the case, you will not be able to rotate the tires at all…since they are staggered and directional. Also, did you find a machine shop that will make you centering rings for your wheels? You will need to reduce the center bore from 66.1 to 60.1. Looks very unique…so don’t screw it up by doing a half-a$s-job. If you don’t make the hubcentric bore, you could break wheel studs. Also check that you have at least 8 full turns on the lug nuts to ensure you have full engagement of the nut for full strength…you don’t know how long your studs are in comparison on how thick the aluminum is at the mounting points.

That (rings) was ease!
Are the wheels directional?
Why didn’t you get all 4 rear wheels or all 4 front wheels? I know 2tCornot2tC got 4 rear Lexus F-Sport wheel for his car…just so he could rotate them. That seems like a good idea. Even if the 350z wheels are directional, that way you would be able to rotate the wheels front to back…
