Hey! Need some help deciding what to do with my wheels, they need some freshning up!

They're 19"x9.5 and 19"x8.5 TSW Thruxton with grey spokes/polished lip.

The car has got Millenium Jade paint and rusty bolts airbrushed here and there, also the enginebay and trunk is Kandy Apple red :P

Heres how my thoughts go:

Matte black spokes/Gloss black lip

OR

Black spokes/Millenium Jade lip

I dont think its worth trying to implement the Kandy Red on the wheels cause enginebay and trunk wont show when i drive around, right :geek:

Car as it looks now:

Polished lip with shadow chrome spokes, gotta keep the polished lip though.

imho jap wheels are over rated and most do not suit the style of jap cars, most people get them for one of two reasons, (A) light weight (B) brand name, most of the people on this forum would get them for B

and where did those rust marks come from?
pop-rivets that hold the body kit on I'm guessing

Heres a close-up of how the 'rusty' parts look while getting airbrushed:

The wheels where rather expensive, believe it or not, might be my bad there, so i'd prefer to keep them, although in a perfect world they would be 19" SSR Professor's or Work Meister's ;) Also getting my hands on a set of Professors or Meisters is hard when you sit in Sweden, any tips where to find them on auction, worldwide?

Heres two Photoshoped version to give a hint, im not longer all that sure about the black/black version :S:

      Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.

      I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.

      From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.

      They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
