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.

theres a place in blacktown as well right near pick and payless.

Some cheesy name like the rim fixer or something like that.

I was going to pay 135 i think to get a big chunk put back in a rim have the rim re-rolled as it was buckled and resprayed . . . . . . . . and then i got poor

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
