You're looking for a polished lip? Some wheels are made up of three different pieces. It would be easier if yours was 2 or 3 piece.

You could take it to a sprayer but I guess it depends on the wheel. I would imagine if you had a lot of spokes it may be difficult. They may want to remove all the paint and start from scratch

Don't live in Brisbane so can't help you there.

Good luck.

What sort of money do they charge for a set?

I had the original rims, bronze I think but had the car-yard put some black Lenso's on, after a while I wish I had kept them.

Looked around and bought the Advan rims, I think all black needed a lift and got the machined look and love it on a black car :wub:

But buying rims is a personal thing.So I have a set of Black Lenso 18x10 +22 Project D in very good condition (3000Klms) for sale.

Love your car and the rims looked pretty good to me, I wonder how they would have looked if you had the spokes sprayed the same colour as your car ?

Black on black seems too heavy, still looked good, but?

What brand were they and what did you end up selling them for??

Diamond Black Volk GTC's 18 x 9.5 +12. $1500 or just under

Bought for $3000ish, No rash when sold

I think same colour would have made it look like a Hairdressers car

:wacko:

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
