I got my wheels back from the Powder Coater

why were you curious about the grooves?

I plan on using Ichiba V2 spacers. They come with studs pushed in so no stud swap is necessary but the rear of the wheel needs to have some grooves so that the stock stud ends won't hit the mounting plate.
 
looks good Dee, i guess instead of spening money on aftermarket rims i could go with some OEM 20's. can't wait to see how they turn out
 
Nice, im jealious. now i gotta get mine done maybe within a week or two so i can get the same deal. i cant believe they did the centers? The gloss should look good with your black paint. i was toying with the idea of going with an extremely dark grey metallic but decided on satin black becuase i didnt think i'd be able to match the centers. but now that i know they do them.... i'll have to think about this.

looks good man, can't wait to see them mounted, how did they manage to mask off the infiniti emblem? do they pry it apart?

The emblems actually can be popped from the rear, and glued to secure them back in place or just snap them back in and they should stay ok. I'm going to glue them back.

not bad....Hpw do you feel about how the color matching of the cap vs the wheel vs a black FX color?

The center caps match really good, in the picture the cap wasn't pushed in so the reflection from the flash made it look a lil different, now as far as matching the car we'll see but as long as the ride is clean they'll blend great, my tail lights are a lil lighter then ride but you can't tell, the wheel on the other hand is darker and should be a better match, I used a color chart to help match as best as possible.

Brian when you go over there, they have a chart of all the colors available so you'll be fine with what they have. I used the chart to help match the FX.

Wow, they came out really good. Nice tires also. Like how the tail light came out in the pic. Can't wait to see them on your baby.
 
Here are some teasers for you all, some garage, and a night shot... I'll take more later. Thanks for the compliments fellas!

as of right this minute they seem very quiet and very comfortable. a lil hard over rough roads. but I'll have to put some more miles on them to really determine how good they are but so far good for the money.

looks great man, for some reason i like these ones better then your adr's

I do to, they really look better than I thought they would. Tonight I had a guy stare until he just had to come over and ask, where did I get my wheels from. I told him they came with the vehicle. His jaw dropped, and then I told him I had them powder coated gloss black then he was like OK, I didn't think factory wheels could be that good looking. He asked me where I got them done and how much, I told him what I paid for the P.C and he just shook his head, said dam and walked away, lol...
