For any one who cares thought I would post up some before and after pics of my stock r34 GT-T rims when I had mine powder coated. Hope it helps anyone who is also contemplating it, personally I love this. New to forums as well so I dont know if I have done this properly. Oh and it was $60 to strip and refit tyres and $260 for a full sandblast and powder coat in gloss black, had it done at global powder coating Archerfield. Cheers

Was that cost per wheel

Ummmmmm....

OP looks great. still a stock wheel, but looks really good.

Was that cost per wheel

Sorry no it was $65 per wheel including a sandblast so $260 all up

and $60 to strip all wheels included balance and refitting

so all together to have everything done was $320

I had mine 2-pack painted gunmetal grey (near enough to black) by a local spraypainter for $30 per wheel. Looks awesome IMO.

Looks heaps mad dude, yerh couldn't stand the stock silver. I didnt get my centre caps done though lol I never used to have them on anyway so I didnt worry about it but $30 each is pretty sweet deal.

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
