Am boring with the color, but still love the style. So I'm just wondering where can I have my wheels be re-paint and what price mark should I looking for? Better be in northen suburbs but willing to travel a little bit.

By the way, the wheels are 18', and how long should the re-paint takes? Thanks.

Good question:

I am looking for options with this as well. I reckon the premium option is Mick @ Micolour, who will do the best job you're likely to get.

Vu @ DT said to me over the phone that he doesn't paint wheels.

Any cheaper options anybody?

Craig @ Colour Ur Mags or Rims, can never remember which.

Avoid the big players in Moorabbin, rip off central.

Craig is a bit eccentric, and it looks like you dropping your rims off in some back yard workshop, but the quality is great and at a very reasonable price point. Had my 34 R rims power coated, but he can paint as well.

Powder Coating:

Make that two... I felt ripped off by the Moorabbin big wheel repair shop... $160 or $180 and 1 month later the wheel just peel off...

I mean WTF...\\\

and here I am now still looking for a reliable wheel repair shop in the west or inner city ....

as the wheel is on the car it's hard for me to find time to have the wheel off the car for a week or two...

yeah these guys are good, had my old rims pwder coated there

Powdercoating is the way to go...it lasts a long time if done properly. I had a set of scratched up, painted black S15 wheels that I got powdercoated in silver and they looked factory brand new. Awesome work. Some joint in Bayswater...there's a couple there who do powdercoating.

Bayswater Powder Coating

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
