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:

imho those wheels look cheap and tacky... you spent sooo much money on the paint and then went and destroyed all that work with cheap chinese shit...

as i said in a thread of yours a while back, go meisters with rusted spokes and polished lip :)

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

what they all said.

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

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:

    • Thanks Mate, I did know you could do that but i know there is a pump out there that you can bolt on and it all lines up. I was told about it and then forgot the model, I figure if i am pulling it apart i will just put a new one on 
    • You can also remove the veins from the HICAS portion of your existing pump. 
    • Trying to swap the rear subframe on my R34 and can't remove the L-shaped stay brackets between the front subframe mounts and the sill/chassis. I'm in the UK so rust is a problem. I've used loads of WD40 and then Tunap 103 for days beforehand. I backed off the bolts forward a bit, backward a bit repeatedly for ages to try and avoid snapping. They have all moved a few full turns. The one I've spent most time on has come loose and I can turn with fingers, and it will pull down and push up 2-3mm. But it won't come out. I can tighten it back up and loosen it off again repeatedly but it still won't come out. I assumed there's a captive nut inside but if that's broken loose then I can't understand why I can always tighten the bolt back up - I'd expect it to just spin both ways. Any ideas what's happening here? I can't visualise what's inside there to cause this.
