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.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
