I have a spare set of rims which i plan on changing the colour of. Basically the std gold wheel colour was a failure, i just dont like it:(

I was thinking dark grey/graphite colour, but after putting the std gret GTST wheels on th ecar i thought they looked way too bland...so got me thinking about white:confused:

Basically i am hopeless at guessing what colour would look good, so happy to hear ppls thoughts or see how good some of you are with photoshop:)

Frk off you lot, a colour blind bloke who when it comes to furnishing buys black and white for the home...needs HELP!!!

I think AL may have won me over, white is a pain to keep clean, and black will look tuff, ie ugly so goes with my motto nicely.

Anyone able to photoshop black and grey?

I vote for metallic silver/grey as dark as you can go before it starts to look black so you get a good contrast with your silver.

I dont really rate black rims but its about what makes you happy so if your inclined go for it roy.

What will make me happy is that my car looks better when i throw these wheels on, i dont car what colour as long as they look better then the gold:)

And its rather exensive to get the wheels painted only to discover woops "that colour suz as well" something i would most definitely do:(

Al that's pretty good. Did it include sand blasting too.

I've ordered some gunmetal grey wheels...

Seriously, I reckon grey would look horn - black wheels you lose the shape of the spokes and wheel to tyre shape.

Yeah those ones on GTTR34's car look kinda understated for their size.

NOICE...i have a pic of a blue R32 GTST with white Model 6s and it looks great:) But my whote WEDS are a pain in the ass to keep clean. Anyway looks like balck or white:)

And Ronin, remember if the black wheels look bland, then it will just highlight whats behind them:whackit:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
