Re: Replacement Wheel

Welcome back and thanks for posting the pictures. Your old wheels are 100% the original silver wheels that were painted black by the prior owner. This is not surprising as the Kizashi actually has a paint issue with certain colors and all wheels are known to have weak paint that flakes off easily. ...

Re: Replacement Wheel

I really didn’t know much about rims/wheels until after an extensive search for this black rim, that apparently does not exist. I did come across a salvage yard that was selling 3 in black on eBay. I finally did come to the realization (and an article) that people do paint their rims! Unless it is t...

Replacement Wheel

Hello all. I am new to this group and came across it, spending hours trying to find an original 18x8 20 Spoke Wheel for my 2012 Kizashi SE. I’ve found plenty in silver, but I need black, which are not easy to find. And if I do they’re not in good condition. Any suggestions where I can find the wheel...
