Hey just wondering who sells rims that have the oily coloured lips (like when you see oily water on the road. . all the colours) or anyone in perth that can do that effect to some rims i like

Im after 19s or 20s and AT LEAST 100mm of dish on the back, and gloss black spokes

Cheers

Daniel

your talking about titanium polished dish

how much you wanna spend????

there are some cheapies going around but the original ones are Rays

Yep thats the look i want . . Im guessing there expensive then? Im after black spokes with the titanium lip. .

MMMMMM love that lip

last quote i had for em in 18's was 4200 with plain silver centre, black centre not available when i was looking also and a 5month wait

Bugger . . I dont really want to wait that long just for rims . . 2GU UP do you know anything about the cheapies you said that were around? Or anyone know who can do that effect if i take rims to them in perth?

those rims there, I heard that if you damage it..the rim repair places cant fix it..lik they can fix the whole rim but you'll loose the titanium colour effect..

so any scratchs on em guess you needa leave it or buy a whole new rim..

Dam . . that sucks ;)

Is it some type of coating or is it done buy heating the rim up to get the burn like heat marks?

yeah titanium wheels are hard to machine and has lik a really high melting point..

but then agian..titanium wheels are only good for show because there heavy and weak...easily damaged ay..so no point riskin big $$$ and getting it damaged after a little curb

my mate should be getting his set in soon and see how that goes..but only thing is..his keeping it for show so wont be awhile until he puts them on.

Arnt fighter jets made from titanium . . so they are light and strong?

Anyway i want some of those rims but not too keen on waiting for ages for them to arrive

Had a look on the site and the biggest i saw was 18s :D I WANT BIGGER lol and wider . .

Titanium has the highest strenth to weight ratio, hence why they cost $$$$. They are lighter than the other rays rims which are already lighter than most.

Cheap brand titanium rims will be heavy because they are most likely a titanium alloy and like all no name brands will have to be thicker to cope with the forces exerted on them.

From Wikipedia

The two most useful properties of the metal form are corrosion resistance, and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal.[4] In its unalloyed condition, titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter.

Ah i see :banana:

Im not really worried that much about the weight of the rim, like i dont want something as heavy as a fridge lol . . They would just be for street use . . and put the stokies on when at the drags (when i move back to perth) Just want something different looking and you dont see that lip anywhere. .

I say spend your money elsewhere...

I seriously never did understand how someone can willingly put that amount of money into rims, when they do the same thing the previous ones did...

rims are the ultimate in rice and waste of money...

haaaaaaaaaahahahahaha titanium heavy and weak!!

Thats some funny shit right there.

Oh dear.

People regard titanium as being some sort of brilliant material. It is not necesarilly that good. Its best properties aren't so much its strength per se, but its corrosion resistance, toughness & high temperature strength. Most of the titanium mined in Australia is turned into white powder, not alloy.

In any case I think you will find that the rims are aluminium and simply coated in Titanium which give them the rainbow effect. There is no reason for them to be any heavier, stronger, weaker or substantially different than any other Volk rim.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
