Hey all,

I'm planning on painting my stock R34 GTT wheels but still a bit undecided about the colour. The car is sonic silver and completely stock, with stock silver GTT rims (current photos here).

The 'traditional' options would be either black or white, and the more out there ones either red or blue. Here's a photoshop (car is chopped lower in side shot):

What do you reckon? Any other options? Or leave as is? :D

Yeah i agree, the darker colours, black and a dark gun metal grey is fn cool! White doesn't do it for me and orange and blue errr.. definately not to my taste. Black and gunmetal are more timeless as well.

Hey bud,

personally in my opinion, white wheels look best on either white or strong coloured (e.g. blue, red, purple) cars, but black wheels look fantastic on any colour, especially weaker colours like grey or silver.

i also think if you do re-spray them, get them powder coated professionally, and make sure you get a gloss on the colour, the matte look makes the wheels look a bit too DIY and tacky, i've seen it in person and i just think a gloss black is the best colour for GT-t wheels.

oh and besides, any step towards the Z-tune is definitely a step in the right direction

Thanks guys, sounds like the consensus so far is black. I am still considering the white as well, haven't seen any stock GTT rims in that colour as yet.

Cheers for the pics Danny, the Z-tune looks awesome! It's gonna take quite a few steps to make my taxi resemble anything like that I reckon :D I am planning on painting the wheels myself (along these instructions) but I'll make sure to spend some proper time prepping them beforehand.

y dont u just leave them the stock silver color and go buy some rims bro????
don't waste the money on stock rims

Cos I quite like the design of the stockies, just not the colour :)

Plus I reckon I should be able to do a somewhat decent home job for around $150, can't really get new rims for that...

how much does it cost roughly to take it to a shop to do this?? And if any one knows any post up a recommendation

I've seen prices between $50-$100 per wheel depending on how much work is needed (repairs might be more still) and how much of the prep you do yourself.

Not really worth it for the GTT stockies I reckon, just saw a whole set advertised for $150...

Ok here's how they turned out, I went matte white for the wheels:

Apologies for the photo quality, we've been a bit short of sunlight recently...

I can't say I'd recommend DIY painting though, it's a lot of work. But I'm happy with the results :thumbsup:

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
