FL A34 Nismo 19" Rims and Tires, What Color?
A34 Nismo 19" Rims and Tires, What Color?
I have a set of four A34 19" Nismo rims with goodyear RS-A (245/40-19) tires. Three of the tires have equal tread life with just over 50% left. Of those three older tires, one has a gash on the side which is pictured in my album. Although the tire was driven on like that for months, I strongly recommend replacing it sooner than later. The other tire is nearly new with at least 90% left. The poll results were close but it is decided that these will be done in gunmetal. The rims do come with Rays Engineering metal valve stems and lug nuts, both of which are being powder coated to match. The rims are in great condition with no bends. All ogf the rims do have curb rash only on the outer lip but that will be corrected before powder coating. I am on this site daily so please feel free to pm me with any questions. The tires are in my garage and the rims are currently at the powdercoater and should be done middle next week so look for after pictures then. Please see the link to my photo album for many detailed pictures and a couple of rims this company just completed. Thanks.

I want them reconditioned first because my shop can clean all curb rash too. The very outside lip needs it on all four rims. They will weld a bead and sand so it will be done right.
What he said lol
and Gunmetal for the win

Are those the actual wheels cause they look to be in great shape? Why go through the trouble of refinishing when they look mint. PLUS you have people interested in buying them as is. Can't get easier to sell than that...
Those are not actual pictures, the rims will be in my garage saturday. The very outer lip on all rims are curbed. These came off of a 06 maxima. They were installed as a sport option.
But if you just post pix of the actual damage, and offer 'em up at 2 prices: 1 for As Is & 1 for Minty Fresh, you can get a sale probably quick-like, and might not hafta mess w/the repairs, and if you bought 'em right, still make a couple bones!

My friend owns a local powder coating business. I can vouch for the superb work he performs. I think it would be best if I had them done.

What he's trying to say is he got 'em for cheap, is looking to make a lil dough on the deal, and to do so he knows he needs to refinish/repair to meet buyers standards.

After getting them professionally reconditioned and powder coated then I am thinking $1,300 with tires. I am not dead set on that price, basically throwing a number out there.
1. Tires are used and I think less than 50% but I will get accurate measurements. (The rims are at the powder coating shop now and I will get pics of them Saturday morning.)
2. They have the "NISMO" sticker now but they will have to be removed for powder coating. I didn't think those stickers were a big deal but I did see that they are available on ebay.
3. Yes shipping is available. I will get fair prices. With tires, I'm sure it will be around $150.00 but I will need to get a quote so that number is very tentative.
4. There is one person ahead of you waiting on pictures of the current rims in as is condition. Once these are done I will go down the list in order and offer them for my selling price with shipping if not local. If the buyer comes back with a lower number then I will continue to the next person in line. If all buyers offer something lower then of course I will go with the higher number.
Thanks for everyone's interest and i will keep you all apprised once I have solid numbers and pictures to post.

I called the powder coater and he said they are done sand blasting and should be spraying them tomorrow. Concerning the price, I will post it up after the rims are done, I'm still not sure what my cost is going to be for the reconditioning.
I still have the rims. I just got them Saturday from powder coating. They look amazing. I am going to post pics today. Ended being powder coated gunmetal pearlescent. They are beautiful and still for sale.
Here is all four. I took many pictures in different lighting.



The following shot is outside in the shade.

Obviously the next two are in the sunlight. The pearl looks amazing and again these are powdercoated so much stronger than paint.
