Ceramic Coated Wheels

Today was supposed to be Kay's 2019 maiden event but with the weather still being pretty crappy, I decided that standing in the rain in 40F degree weather isn't something I want to do. Instead, I made the most of the day selling a set of Bumblestook's extra wheels to Darian of Performance Detailz in East Earl, PA while taking the opportunity to have him ceramic coat the Advan GT wheels.

JDM wheels should be coated in JDM ceramic coating right? Darian hooked me up with his private stash of Kamika Stance Rim Coat made in Japan haha. That should keep the wheels nice and fresh.


He did two layers on each wheel inside and out. This was the perfect time to do it since they're still new and off the car. It obviously won't protect against rock chips but it should keep brake dust at bay and make it super easy to get clean again.

I still think pictures don't do this wheel justice. Looking forward to finally putting them on and getting some seat time though. All this prep work without any testing is no fun. That'll have to wait a bit longer though. I dropped Kay off at Speed Sport Tuning yesterday to get her ride height adjusted and re-corner balance and aligned as well as take care of a few more odd ends on the build sheet. We should still be on target to make the NNJR SCCA TnT at the end of this month.
