go for a good high contrast racing colour, bright orange or green or something then get a subtle graphic with the same colour along with a black or silver to match... or paint wing mirrors to match...

Have you got a good side on photo, I'd do some up for you if you like, not car graphics just some rim and body colouring, not trying to make a sale here... I just like seeing cars out there with a bit of style and personality... it doesn't have to be much but it does have to be decent not cheap lookin..

Then you can have a unique looking car rather than just your very average bronze rims..

I wouldn't do white as they dirty and I have found some brake dust if not clean off regularly can actually stain the white

Black looks tuff as.

Maybe keep the colour but do a red lip out line on the edge of the rim...

Thats something to think about. Might give it a go cause it's cheap to do anyway.

gold.
Gold like the Volk GTC Gold

Hmmmmm..... Not sure how the 33gtr rims would look in gold. Definatley something to think about though.

I'm not a huge fan of graphics on cars. Sometime they do look really good though when they are subtle. The only reason i'm doing this is because it only cost like $3 for a spray can and i can change colour every couple of months.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.

spray can, you gotta be kinding surely... sorry I reckon that will look as cheap and tacky as it sounds...

I just don't cheap or tacky I'm afraid... nor do graphics or anything have to be subtle to look good, its all in the way its done, but it does as always come down to personal opinion.

Hey the first time i used spray cans nobody knew until i told them. They look fine. The pic of my car i put up is with spray cans. Even up close it looks good. I've also seen my rims up against some properly painted rims and couldn't tell the difference.

The only thing is that they don't hold up against scratches as well so every month or so i did a quick touch up. Not hard to do and for $6 you can't go wrong.

I wanted to get them powder coated but don't wanna waste my money when i wanna change colours again in a few months.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
