helimeddaz Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Hi All, Thought I would share this... As you may know had issues with RAYS on MY58 Z. The RAYS are corroding and still waiting for Nissan to sort it. So, bought a set from a forum member that needed a lot of TLC and this is the result. Might have been done before, but don't know for sure. These are Smoked Chrome spokes with a polished rim and black hoop behind (Inboard). Sorry the picture is low res and doe's not do them justice. will post better one when I get tyres fitted Hope you like.... They're stunning in the Sun. Quote
Beau Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 Im not a massive fan of rays but these loook pretty cooool! God job! Quote
helimeddaz Posted June 6, 2011 Author Posted June 6, 2011 Must give a plug to Brian and his lads at.... "THE WHEEL SPECIALIST" in Garforth near Leeds. 0113 287 3005 Quote
helimeddaz Posted June 7, 2011 Author Posted June 7, 2011 Thing is I had my own idea's for the wheels, but Brian said "Leave 1 wheel with me, I'll do what I have in mind. I'll give you a call when it's done, look at it and if you don't like it you don't have pay." Now you can't be fairer than that. I couldn't be happier. They look superb and the finish is really high quality, considering this was not just a re-colour as well . The wheels all had major curbing and some bits of corrosion. This is a 3 colour finish and covers the whole wheel too, not just the face, so nowhere for water to get in. He also recommends nitrogen filling with RAYS which also stops moisture reaction inside and helps preserve the wheels. I'll put up some before shots later to show what they were before. Quote
wackosr Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Wow they look sweet. Hadn't considered doing multiple colors, something to bear in mine when I need to get mine done. Quote
helimeddaz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 UPDATE******* Here are some Hi-res pics of before and after. Still doesn't do the finish justice. Hope you likeeee.... If any body needs info, ring Brian at The Wheel Specialist. (See earlier post). Quote
Southernspeed Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Really nice job, doesn't look 'orange peely' at all which you often get with powder coat. Nice! Is the ally rim lacquered over? Quote
Rubber Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 They look sweet. Any pics on the car yet? Chris Quote
helimeddaz Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Not yet Pal. Waiting for 2 front tyres. Quote
ChrisS Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Think that's one of the best looking rays I've seen. Great job. Quote
ChrisS Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Sprayed or powder coat? How much per rim if you don't mind me asking? Think I can see where this might be going. Quote
glrnet Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 It's like this, I've got this mate and he's really interested............................. Sprayed or powder coat? How much per rim if you don't mind me asking? Think I can see where this might be going. Quote
AK350Z Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Yeah, something like that Not for the Zed though. My Punto sporting alloys are in a right state! Quote
rancer Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Those look spot on - almost exactly what im after! Again - costings would be nice. T.W.S franchises always seem to be on the expensive side Quote

T.W.S franchises always seem to be on the expensive side Have a word with Brian on the numbers above. Tell him the recommendation came from Daz at the 350 owner club and I'm sure he'll look after any members. Quote
