Hey,

I have some nismo wheels (not the ones everyone wants, just some boring ones that no one cares about lol) and i like them a lot but they are just a bit dull. I'm happy with the rim bit because its a nice silver than can be polished to look real good but the inner piece is just that silvery colour that is dull and boring.

Anyway, is it possible to get the inner part resprayed black? I was thinking it'd look awesome if i got the inside that real nice shiny black colour and have 'nismo' stickers or 'nismo' sprayed onto it in white letters. So then it'll have the black in the middle and the shiny silver rim on the outside. I don't know if thats possible though.

Can 2 piece wheels be taken apart and put back together easily? I know theres like 100 bolts around the side of my wheel, or once they are on is it kind've impossible to take apart again? And is it possible for my type of wheel to be resprayed another colour like black?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

yep you can do all of the things asked, a rim repairer would be best to get them dis-assembled, then take the centres to a paint shop or a powdercoater to blast and coat, then back to the rim shop for re-assembly

I didnt pay anything close to that... Was more like $100 for the whole set including clear coat. I took it to a commercial powder coater not a rim specialist though. Photo here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4428017

Yours look great, it'd be good if i can get it done for that price. I'll talk to a couple people i know, hopefully one of them can do it.

not a bad turnout for stock R33 rims

Damn Chris,

I thought they were aftermarket rims!!! I had to look twice!!!

Very Very nice work!!!

I cant believe you made those stockies look so tough!!! im sure alot of owners with Stock rims would rather this cheaper option...then buyer other rims...

Well done mate!!

Wow, sounds like I probably did then. I used to Live next door to that powder coater where I got them done. Thats about 2 years ago now... maybe he cut me a deal? I definately wasnt expensive in my case.

I would spray my rims a seperate colour as well but they are all chipped and scratched lol. So i don't know how that'd turn out.

Yours look good though Chris.

I'm now not sure what colour i should respray mine with. I was thinking black but my car is also black and i don't want every part on my car the same colour or it just looks too black. Maybe i should get them sprayed a gold colour or something? I have no idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what colour i should get?

not white !! haha

search around your area for powdercoaters, see what suppliers they use. the Dulux colour range is pretty small, some might use rohm and haas which have a much more comprehensive range of colours.

but atleast dulux will send you as a consumer a colour swatch book from their website if you want to check out whats available.

a nice black chrome would be good like below

do it yourself if you are short on cash and/or have the time

We did it on our MPS 6, resprayed the RX8 wheels we bought for it in a charcoal black,

just rub them back, couple of cans of desired paint, then a coat of clear.

The finish is pretty damn good for $100 and a days work, plus any repairs are easy because you have the exact colour for touch-ups.

but if people are quoting like $150 for a professional powdercoat (sounds cheap to me) then go for it.

Off memory its like $50-$100 a rim for powder coating depending who you go to, atleast that's up here.

Hey mate,

Any chance of pm'n me a contact or two, would like to get my 33 wheels machined/ coloured.

Thats very similar to mine. Black Onyx is what I got from memory.

Anyone got any recommended contacts (preferred Brisbane) for powder coater?

MintR33: where did you get those NISMO stickers? Ebay? The LMGT4s I have are like 9yrs old (looked at the production date stickers) and the NISMO stickers are fading, scratches on the paint etc.

Someone help me make my car look like this pls!

Sorry for the late reply, yes I got them on Ebay (do a search for items located overseas)

Also I had my rims done by:

    • No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT
