go for a good high contrast racing colour, bright orange or green or something then get a subtle graphic with the same colour along with a black or silver to match... or paint wing mirrors to match...

Have you got a good side on photo, I'd do some up for you if you like, not car graphics just some rim and body colouring, not trying to make a sale here... I just like seeing cars out there with a bit of style and personality... it doesn't have to be much but it does have to be decent not cheap lookin..

Then you can have a unique looking car rather than just your very average bronze rims..

I wouldn't do white as they dirty and I have found some brake dust if not clean off regularly can actually stain the white

Black looks tuff as.

Maybe keep the colour but do a red lip out line on the edge of the rim...

Thats something to think about. Might give it a go cause it's cheap to do anyway.

gold.
Gold like the Volk GTC Gold

Hmmmmm..... Not sure how the 33gtr rims would look in gold. Definatley something to think about though.

I'm not a huge fan of graphics on cars. Sometime they do look really good though when they are subtle. The only reason i'm doing this is because it only cost like $3 for a spray can and i can change colour every couple of months.

Thanks for all your suggestions guys.

spray can, you gotta be kinding surely... sorry I reckon that will look as cheap and tacky as it sounds...

I just don't cheap or tacky I'm afraid... nor do graphics or anything have to be subtle to look good, its all in the way its done, but it does as always come down to personal opinion.

Hey the first time i used spray cans nobody knew until i told them. They look fine. The pic of my car i put up is with spray cans. Even up close it looks good. I've also seen my rims up against some properly painted rims and couldn't tell the difference.

The only thing is that they don't hold up against scratches as well so every month or so i did a quick touch up. Not hard to do and for $6 you can't go wrong.

I wanted to get them powder coated but don't wanna waste my money when i wanna change colours again in a few months.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
