Can't post pics until they are sprayed. They are a mongrel to mask because some parts are really fiddly. I've got to rub them back also.

If the 3M rubbing stuff TOUCHES the polished bit, I'm screwed, so I have to be Uber careful.

It's lunch time and after work for me for a little while.

Although I did find a pretty clever way to mask them using off cuts from some paper stuff at work!!!

Stay Tuned.

my mate's ebaying these, if the K-Mart hubcaps don't work out for you poite... even has a spare set of rears for teh driftzor!

fiddly bits.... sounds like there are nuts or something involved, i vote a GT-C of some colour description, and then getting painted black, and as pete said, being careful of the polished bits, ie, lip/rim bit.

my 2 south african rand

you painted LMGT4's...

Like i said...onl;y sheap crappy wheels need to be painted. LM GT4s are not Regamasters! Oh, im painting them as well :happy: . . . . . :P

And Pete, it wouldnt have been such a bastard to rub back the centres if you had of polised the outers after painting the centres. These were on Poite's outdoor setting the other day.

Painted didn't think they were rubbed back enough, so I'm sitting on the floor in my lounge room, surrounded by wheels and rubbing them back.

STILL.

Stoopid fiddly little bastards.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
