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.

    • 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.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
