Awesome car. The paint looks killer. I think you`ve put me one step closer to a VM purchase.

Looks excellent, but I love the Fiske wheels more than anything ;).

Thanks Guys...



Sean,

I had some BBS 18s on there for about a year but these look so much better to me...I dont think I will ever get rid of these..and they have better Brake clearance up front too. :grinno:



Porkanbeans,

Richt talked me into the VM and I need to write him a PM thanking him...I am amazed. I also bought some RMG, but then ran out of time to apply that prior to the Nattys.. :hairpull

I feel your pain. I have HRE 540`s on my 300ZX which are a similar design to your Fiskes. The car is a show car that I trailer. I can`t even imagine having to clean and polish these wheels on a daily basis. :cry:



Car looks fantastic though... :bigups

Thanks again for the recommendations Rich....definitely will be taking your advice in the future. :woohoo:



Pats300ZX,



I love HRE 540s...and know that you too feel my pain. If my car were a daily driver I dont know what I would do...The centers being anodized helps with the cleaning...



I actually think that the HRE 841s are my favorite wheels made today...I just couldnt live with the Reverse drop center...that channel is like a water magnet. How do you get the water out when you wash your z? (or are yours not the 540r?) I used my compressor and air hose on a car I detailed and couldnt get over what a goofy rim design it seemed like to me..

Thought I would add these reflection pics as a comparison between the P21S and Nattys Blue...



P21S (granted this paint hadnt been prepped since june, but this was 1 week after an application of p21s):

Actually I haven`t bucket washed with a hose the 300zx in about 4 years. The car is completely garage kept and trailered to shows. When I wash I use either Spray and Wipe, QEW, or a quick wipe down with a bucket of waters and some good MF`s.



The air compressor is a great idea though...

Switch to ceramic brake pads.
