Ebized Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 They look very nice . From the pics the finish looks similar the OEM 370 wheels. Do you know the paint code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffyjason Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks to BA Wheels in Norwich, friendly and fast service. The colour is called ' Porsche Anthracite ' they are slightly darker than the pics suggest, more of a gun metal / titanium ..i've no idea if thats an official paint colour or just their own ! Now i have to get the car re-sprayed to a darker metallic grey ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubapics Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looking good. Two tips: 1. Make sure there is no powder coating on the mating face with the hub or you may well find your discs warp. 2. Don't use any form of wheel cleaner other than normal shampoo or it will dull the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 must be somewhere closer to you that does them? I think "The Wheel Specialist" is opening a branch in Bournemouth soon but they are more like £400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had powder coated Nismo's, don't worry too much about what you read. Regular coating of poor boys rim wax and quick wipe overs every so often and they will keep the look. Really good choice of colour, look great Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have powder coating and they were shiny like yours when new but now dull. I was using bilberry wheel cleaner. If you seal them with a wheel wax or zaino z2 pro, they dirt will wash off them easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taffyjason Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 ok cool, i'll get some while they are clean then, particularly the interior even the guys at the shop said they looked great on the Zed, hopefully not just buttering me up!

scubapics Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 No they're not buttering you up. I'm considering getting mine redone and this time keeping them sealed and staying clear of the bilberry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
