My apologies after a closer look i see you gave GTRS very nice
 
Ya. Gtr's are also 7 spoke. Little different than a stock 18 though ;)
 
The ones on the white fx are not 20's. They are 18's bro lol. I would powder coat the 20's you have or get the GTR wheels like GTO has.

you guys get my point lol i will problaly test it out with plastidip dont want to invest in the powdercoat then i dont end up liking them. Those GTRs are nice no luck finding them on Craigslist though
 
You actually missed a few good deals on some GTR's on here recently. They pop up every now and then. Check eBay and also the GTR forums and you might find them on there.
 
i noticed the other day whem doing some research on the search bar about grills that i think i have the sports package also something i was unaware of when i purchased the car it has the tinted chrome grill and tail lights is that all that makes it a sports package can any one confirm?
 
The wheels on the white fx are mine (that's my ride). Those are the stock 18 inch wheels, but they're just plastidipped :)
I want to get the new '13 gtr rims and powdercoat them black...but they're too expensive :(

Oh ok thanks they look really clean i could of sworn it was paint im going to have to plastidip them this weekend! Any way i can leave the emblem chrome with plastidip?
 
Your rims are one of those very few versions of OEM 20 stockers on the sport package. It would look nice powder coated or semi gloss black chrome if you choose to keep them.

You'll need to remove the center cap and remove the emblem, dip the cover, and once dry, put the emblem back on, using superglue, etc on the back. Also, just fyi, I used rustoleum's version of the plastidip, I found it to be more durable and smooth than the original plastidip. Bought a few cans from autozone.
 
that's good info man thanks!

did you remove the wheels?
 
I got rid of my OEM chromes on my 05fx35 sport a while ago, they are a rarity now but chrome isn't really in style. A lot of people just paint them black, which is equally out of style IMO because so many people do it. I would do a dark dark gunmetal, which is nothing crazy, but I think it will accent the black car better than just going straight black. Of course, this is just an opinion, since you asked for them ;)

Na, I just stuffed some plastic bags behind the wheels and covered up the brakes, calipers, etc. Just make sure the plastic isn't touching any part of the rim where you want it to be dipped and you'll be fine. And make sure to only remove the bags once they rims are completely dry
