Oem 18 Inch Rims


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I just want some feed back on which colour i should spray my rims. They are the oem 18inch alloys on an 03. Looking at spraying them either gloss black or matte black. What do you think will look better.

Cheers

I personally like Gunmetal.

Also depend on what color is the car you going to put on.

I did semi gloss on another car and it came out fantastic (matt black paint but with a good several layers of top/lacquer). I was going to spray my oems on the V too but just ended up getting new wheels with tires as the old tires were almost gone.

unless u car is lowered or sports a bodykit of some sort...i'd stay away from matt black....try hypersilver as they seem to "pop" more...or bronze

btw ...chrome will make ur car look fully sik.

Get your car's wheels photoshopped to the colour of your choice and compare it thru that avenue....I put up a request for someone to do mine on the Computer Art second here on SAU, and they were kind enough to do so. You can chk it out>>( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/V3...se-t278754.html ).....they are not the stock wheels, but 18inch none the less.

I think you should do with a gunmetal Grey.

    • Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!
    • I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.

    • If this, then this You can't really get away without it. There are hacks that you can do in Nistune, but things are much easier with the sensor than without it. If you're not planning to Nistune the ECU, then stop right now and add it to your plan anyway, because the ECU is going to shit the bed over the missing ABS and TC computers that it expects to see, and you need Nistune to stop it chucking all its toys over the side of the crib.
    • hey guys, so ive done a complete +t conversion using mostly stock parts on my rb20de neo r34.  Im wanting to know if a boost pressure sensor is needed? Seems like the engine cuts out when i try to do a pull and I have a feeling its because a boost pressure sensor is missing. I'm using a stock r34 rb25det neo ecu.
