Hey all

After much effort trying to sell my rims I've decided I will keep them as they're damn nice rims. The only thing is - they are gold and don't suit my silver/grey car so I'm looking to get them painted silver.

My rims contain a sort of anodized look and the lip actually looks like polished alloy, would it be possible get lip polished but spokes painted? Heres a picture of my rims to show you what I mean: see how the rim looks shiny gold where as the spokes look like a grainy/matt finish?

So does anybody have any experience with painting rims? If so where did you get it done and whats the usual cost to do this? Recommendations on where to go to get this kind of thing done would be greatly appreciated! :dry:

Thanks,

Andy

Magman in Punchbowl seems to be most people's pick.

I don't know if his prices are reasonable (I think its $85 a wheel, but I'm not sure if they strip the paint off to go to bare metal before laying the new paint on at that price) but everyone seems more than happy with the results of his work.

i have my wheels there now. they are costing me 100 a wheel but he has to fix some gutter rash and paint the centre caps aswell. he will be stripping all the paint off the wheels for me before he paints them.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
