I Bought a set of cheap, shitty condition AVS wheels a few months ago, I needed some wide rims for my car and these were a bargain so I snapped them up. They were riddled with really bad gutter rashes and flaking paint. Yesterday me and my mate did a backyarder respray on them. Hers some pics!

Heres how I bought them..

Damn! Thats a trip! I have done the same thing with exactly the same rims on my white 33. Gloss black and all....and I can vouch for the fact that it looks horn!

Nice work in the back yard, I had mine done professionally because I dont have the equipment yet, but you finish looks nice too.

Would love to see your rims under your car, the only downside is they catch tyre shine and dust real easy!

Haha, yeah i was a little bit hesitant to go black originally because i thought it would just be too much black, but Im happy now. Yeah it was an ok job for a backyarder, got a lil dust in the paint, some tiny run marks and some of the gutter rashes werent 100% smoothed out but all in all its 1000 times better than what they were so im happy. Im thinking of doing white walls too just to break up the black a lil bit.

Gonna be buying tires next week or so, get some pics up then. Cars not moving at the moment so I wont get to see them rolling for another couple of months unfortunately. Might put them on my oldmans xr6t temporarily hehe.

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
