Hi All,

I've got a White R34 Gtt with the standard 17" rims, and I'm thinking about painting them gloss black.

I haven't seen how those rims would look painted black, so if anyone can help me out with some pics, that would be great!

Cheers

thanks man. sorry didnt get many pics of it. have upgraded since then and sold my stockies. theres a few pics of r34 gtt rims sprayed black on sau though.

No worries man, thanks a lot for posting those pics, I'll go through the gallery sometime and see if I can find other pics.

Would you recommend painting them or should I save the $ and get a set of 18"s (Works or Volks in black) down the track instead?

do it yourself dude quite nice and easy

1 x duct tape

1 x old newspaper

1 x can of primer

2/3 x cans of gloss black

1/2 x cans of clear coat

1 x free day

Yer thats what i want to do for my car, its silver though. Cheaper option while saving.

Do you really need the clear coat? I was goin to use etch primer an gloss black wheel paint.

Or is that no good?

Cheers

mmm...might give it a try...do i need to sand the wheel first?

Obviously not an R34, but its white. You'll at least get the idea of how awesome they look :D

The GTT rims looks quite good on the S15.

19's on a GTT would probably look better, but handling and tyre prices wise...18's would be the better option for me :stupid:

hey guys, who here's done this? i'm thinking of doing it, how many coats should i spray on at each point and how long do i leave to dry in between coats?

with the end result, does it last long? or does it wear fairly quickly and u need to keep respraying it?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
