Hey all

After much effort trying to sell my rims I've decided I will keep them as they're damn nice rims. The only thing is - they are gold and don't suit my silver/grey car so I'm looking to get them painted silver.

My rims contain a sort of anodized look and the lip actually looks like polished alloy, would it be possible get lip polished but spokes painted? Heres a picture of my rims to show you what I mean: see how the rim looks shiny gold where as the spokes look like a grainy/matt finish?

So does anybody have any experience with painting rims? If so where did you get it done and whats the usual cost to do this? Recommendations on where to go to get this kind of thing done would be greatly appreciated! :dry:

Thanks,

Andy

Magman in Punchbowl seems to be most people's pick.

I don't know if his prices are reasonable (I think its $85 a wheel, but I'm not sure if they strip the paint off to go to bare metal before laying the new paint on at that price) but everyone seems more than happy with the results of his work.

i have my wheels there now. they are costing me 100 a wheel but he has to fix some gutter rash and paint the centre caps aswell. he will be stripping all the paint off the wheels for me before he paints them.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
