i neglected to mention a couple of things.

this group buy is being offered in three different forums.

if more than ten people sign up, i will drop all prices by $50.if twenty people sign up, an additional $50 will be dropped. I will update this thread as new users sign up for it.

also, the turnaround time is 72 hours guaranteed. if you do not have a tracking number within 72 hours of the wheels being delivered to us, we will drop $50 off the total cost.

Awesome! I just need to order my rims now and then ship them to you...or...I could order them and have them shipped directly to you? But before we get ahead of ourselves, can you tell me if you can do something like this for me?



I want the blue lip, black spoke look (also that color blue if possible).

that looks like lollypop blue over extreme chrome for the lip and super wet black for the face. each bolt re-torqued to 28in-lbs as per the manufacturer in a cross tightening method.

that's cake!!!

shall i go ahead and write your name down?

Mr. Silver stopped by the shop today to leave his 350z with us. i should have his wheels coated by morning. stay tuned for some pics and a big thanks to Mr. Silver

[jazzcornet]

going to bed bump.

i would hate for anyone to miss this opprotunity just because they didn't look for it!

[CAMAricer]

Here's the pic (of the wheel) and crude diagram of what I want. Entire lip blue and only the spokes black. The center cap is left unpainted, of course.

US Blue and electric blue are some other decent options. but neither of them have that mettalic look to it. they are both solid colors

[illneversellmyce...]

Read the title...

ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPROTUNITY

i dont think we will have another wheel group buy. nothing against you guys, but we are actually losing money by doing this. we just decided to help you guys out right before summer time. i'd rather see a happy enthusiast than a broke enthusiast.

[jazzcornet]

evening bumparoo

[jazzcornet]

man, could you imagine if 7 more people signed up? i think $400 to have your wheels powdercoated and shipped back to you is a steal. lets have a happy memorial day.

[jazzcornet]

someone send me their rims. i just keep spending money in the fs section if i dont have any work to do......

[jazzcornet]

5 more days

[jazzcornet]

added a name.

get in on this people. i would hate to see people miss out on this. only two days left on this!!

[jazzcornet]

[jazzcornet]

CAMAricer....

got your rims in yesterday. they are coated now but i wanted to ask what you wanted to do about the center caps? leave them chrome? super wet black?

also, i will not return them until your payment has cleared. please pm me for details. they are 19x8 SSR's with two colors, so your total cost is $600

[CAMAricer]

Payment was sent already, via certified mail one day after wheels were sent...strange it hasn't gotten there yet...I'll check on the tracking number later.

As for the center caps, please leave them chrome.

[jazzcornet]

and here are some pics of rousegk7's rims installed on his car!!

[jazzcornet]

and lastly,

here are some teaser shots for ya. as promised, they will be shipped out before the 72 hour deadline at 5pm eastern time tomorrow night.

copious amounts of work went into these rims and i'd like to break down exactly what was involved for future reference to new customers.

firstly, the rim was soaked in a heated industrial strength degreasing solution for nearly an hour. after the initial soak, they were rinsed off with a 3400psi heated pressure washer to get any left over residue and junk off the rims. then they were disassembled and thrown into the media blasting box. the initial blast was using 15/30grit silica carbide followed with a 130 grit glass bead. after the blasting process, the part was rinced with clean water and set to air dry. after the individual parts were air dried, they were again blown off with compressed air to get the excess dust and debris off. each part was then preheated to 435 degrees for 60 minutes to outgas. after it cooled, they were sprayed down with denatured alchohol and air dried to remove any remaining oils or greases that may have come out of the substrate during the outgassing process. the parts were then coated in their corresponding color and placed in an environmentally controlled room to cool down and fully cure. after each part was coated and cooled, the reassembly was done. only the finest toyota FIPG was used between the mating surfaces and to seal over the breaks in the metal to ensure no leakage of air after the tire is installed. each bolt was cross-torqued according to manufacturer's specs at 28in-lbs. and voila!! we have a freshly coated set of wheels!

to reitterate the immense discount you received, i will break down the cost:

1. 15/30grit media, 75lbs @ $18/40lbs - $33.75
2. 130 grit media, 50lbs @ $20/20lbs - $50.00
3. 1 lb pastel dark brass powder @ $24.99/lb - $24.99
4. 1 lb extreme chrome powder @ $24.99/lb - $24.99
5. 13oz Toyota FIPG @ $7.84/3oz - $33.98
6. 16hrs labor @ $58/hr - $928
7. shop equipment and tool fee (flat rate) - $10.00
8. return shipping to 32506 - $68.14

for a grand total of $1173.85

so, this group buy was over a 50% savings for this guy!!

Our prices do vary from time to time, especially for board members ( i tend to hook people up), but if you were a simple customer off the streets, that's what you would expect to pay.

[massbrandon]

^^ Man that looks awesome. You are really making me think about sending out my rims to you. I will be gone for two weeks due to a military obligation. Could I still partake in this? Also, can you straighten out a slightly bent rim? I know the GB is over but I just wanted to ask.

[jazzcornet]

shoot me a PM with a picture of your wheels, a picture of the damge to your wheels, the color you want them and branch of military service and paygrade and we'll talk about it!!

i'm military too and always like to look out for my own

Hey Jazz, just installed the rims on my car. So let me do some free advertising for your company and show them off

[jazzcornet]

those are really sexy!!! I'm glad you liked them

dayum that's sexy, but i'm curious... you have an sc430... why have the celica?

[jazzcornet]

i just cant get over how badass those wheels look. that was a perfect color choice!!!!!

[jazzcornet]

i'm thinking those calipers would look hawt in lollyblue too

[CAMAricer]

I love my Celica, probably will be with me until it falls completely apart. The SC430 was to piss off my ex (it was the car I told her I was going to buy her after I graduated). Long story short, I got my revenge when I bought this car for myself. Plus I wanted a car that would be completely different than all those 350Z's and G35s...but could hold its own against them. Seriously, who mods their 430? LOL. As for the Celica, it used to be my DD, but it's cursed (so many bad things happen to it) so now I'm paranoid to take her out for a drive (only on weekends now). That being said, it's still good on gas, so I try to split time between the two cars for work.

dayum that's sexy, but i'm curious... you have an sc430... why have the celica?

Yeah...those calipers would look nice in blue, wouldn't they? Hmm....
