Thinking about spray painting my R32 rims for shits and giggles this Saturday... what do you guys think?

I'm thinking going black, then spraying a chrome paint around the edges to give it a similar effect to this;

So you've got the chrome on the outside and black on the inside.

I was also thinking about spraying it white..

What do you guys think?

I think not...

im assuming your car is white yeah.. in which case Id go a metallic charcoal buffed to a mirror sheen, probably without chrome lip but could work with..

if you insist on chrome strip and its just for shits n giggles do the metalcast blue....for sexeeeeee appeal.....

taping up a finish line from the chrome to black would be a major pain in the ass , probably better off to go with a full colour , gloss probably. gold or back for a white car

+1

I had the same idea with my 32 stockies and it was near impossible to tape up a perfect circle for a chrome lip

so i ended up spraying them completely black.

paint it.....why not there stockies and it cost under $50, just recruit one of your mates to help you like i did and the proccess is easy and the ending result could shock you.....my BLACK stokies came out okay for first try if i was to do it again it should come out better. I also helped my uncle paint his ford rims in time for his weeding and they came out even better.

I painted my rims black too. Results are great although mines starting to have hints of white showing cos i didn really do layers,,, jsut did it till it looked good. But its defs worth doing. Cost me 15 bucks, if theres any issues i can jsut do it again for 15.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
