No more NBP for me.
Had a problem with my powder coating peeling off one of my wheels when i got some new tires. Left me with crapped up wheel.


Just got a call that my new wheels are being made right now, so i got atleast 70 days untill i see them. For now this is how im gonna roll...

excuse the dirt..rains alot in washington



Damage



Temp Fix





Had them baked and blasted last weekend. Didnt turn out how i expected, just a weeeee bit white looking. Up close they are a very bright grey, and very raw.









Its growning on me...im gonna try and clean them up some this weekend.

Yea...only 69.5 more days to wait..

Shouldnt the shop cover damages?

Anyways, i liked the black but the forged greyish color doesnt look bad to be honest. I actually like it Sweet pics btw. Probably would have been bettter if you had Canon

yeah the greyish colour doesnt look bad

Black looked awesome, but that color now doesn't look to bad honestly. I kinda like it. Flows with the car pretty well.

Well kinda, i got stuck in the middle of two places pointing the finger at each other. In the end the powder coating place blasted them for free, and the tire shop mounted and balanced for free. So i got new looking wheels for free, and they were in need of being re-coated from winter wear and tear.

cough....d40x ftw...cough


Thanks man, they are truely raw aluminum now and a bitch to get clean

It does flow pretty good, almost makes me wanna get nuts and go WDP...on WDP, truely take NBP vs. WDP to a whole new level!

Oh damn thats tight! haha Pretty much brand new wheels for free-Awesome haah. White on white like fuckin ross. Probably wont be worth it since you're getting new wheels though haha..which your gonna tell me what they are by PM...right?

Distorted Reality

Pretty much, PM sent


Ive thought about doing that too, but id want them to be WDP, and they dont really carry that in a rattle can.... They will get powder coated the right way once i get my new wheels.

Long story, but i was told my wheels were sent to Powder Coat company A. when in fact they were sent to Powder Coat company B.

Company B. did not blast/prime wheels before coating
Company A. noticed this once they blasted mine, which is the reason they peeled.

the spoiler flawlessy flowed with the black rims and the overall look of the car... imo i dont think the spoiler flows with this new white.. i guess if i were u id remove the spoiler and swap it for a decklid spoiler

Ive thought about removing the ASPEC Spoiler for the TypeS Lip...but...

1. Dont want to have to fill the holes
2. Two lip spoilers (roof & trunk) is too much lip spoiler going on.
3. The CLS CF Spoiler ua6spec made is pricey, but the only alternative.

Thanks for the input though.

white on white would be sick bro!

Ill put those one when the 100 spoke white daytons show up

Im not a big fan of chrome, but with these wheels being a one peice wheel, making the lip polished and spokes white wouldnt be worth the hassle.

gold on white is pretty champ these days, but getting done more and more. I know of one other guy with white wheels AZNBENZ, think he sold his TL though??

Thanks, it does have a "edgy" aspect to it, even though i want a luxo look.

ha...there is such a thing as too much white lol

chill_dog

They don't look great, but I like the grey much better than the black, honestly.
