I recently fitted some coilovers to the ol girl and thought it was about time I gave her some new shoes too but coming into xmas bit short on wheel funds so thought i'd give this a crack.

The wheels that came with my 32 4 door were haggered and just looked plain shit so I thought i'd respray them while I save for some 33GTR wheels.

Anyway threw on some paint stripper a few times which helped get all the old crap off.

And started at 80grit wet/dry and worked up to 2000grit wet/dry with various increments working off gutter rash and small dents. Was going to bog a few larger rashes but the wheels are nothing special so thought eff it.

While doing all this I hadn't really thought of a colour to go for the finish but while stripping it back there was a lot of white underneath and thought i'd give that a go seeing as all ive had is black wheels before.

Gave the tyres a rough tape up job because getting new tyres in a fortnight anyway.

So a few coats of etch primer and and a few of burn your eyes out white this is how they came out.

Not a bad result for $80 of paint primer and emery paper.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
