R34 Gtt Rims Painted Black

[Ak34]

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 John, very nice 34 you got there. The rims look quite good in black with the centre cap taken out.

Would you have any pics from the side??

Cheers,

Kenny

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?

paint them yourself. doesnt cost a hell of a lot

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

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

Definitely just paint them for now and save for the 18's... 17's do look really small on 34's. 19's are probably the way to go if you want to fill the guards a bit better.

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?

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

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?

look in the DIY section, theres a good thread for painting your wheels.

Silvia looks pretty nice, is the fitment still standard? Or any spacers put on? if so what size? Might be a good option until cash allows for some better wheels.
