I've got a great set of wheels I love but I'm also pedantic and have some gutter scrape on 1 rim and a few stone chips on the others. So with new tyres to be fitted I was thinking that I might change the colour of my rims? Anyone who has owned white rims knows my pain! I originally thought of a gun metal but I'm now leaning towards a bronze metalic (probably the same shade as the drift tek range).

So. . .What do you reckon and can people please post up picture of red 32's with bronze/gold or gunmetal rims?

Here is a couple of shots of my car 1. with my white rims and 2. with mine on the front and a pair of bonze works on the back (to darker bronze IMO)

Already got that as my everyday set. . . . And the rims I want to change are rare original Nto3's that were imported a while back which have an intricate design of the interwebing between spokes. Any wheel that has any form of interesting detail seems to get dulled/blended away into the rest of the rim if it is a dark colour, IMO.

Black stockies look tuff, then lower it about 2" you be looking sweet.

Onter suggestion I go Bronze.

I like the stockies black also :banana: Thats why i got them professionally sprayed as a daily kick around rim by a mate so I wouldn't be disappointed.

Nice thread :D I have the same colour car and was thinking of going a darker rim also. I love bronze volks or the dark gunmetal seen on work rims.

We think on the same level. Volk bronze and Work gun = :P . as long as you buy the real deal and not imitations :spank:

what wrong with white? white FTW...

however with the red, the white rims look wierd... i was gonna suggest a black rim also.. looks the shit..

White was one of the factors that caused me to buy these rims! They are the original Nto3's (without multistud and centre hub webbing), Super light at only 8.2kg and these ones were imported from japan by a friend of mine to run targa. The reason he imported them is because Enkei has never sold these in white here + the obvious weight and quality of the rim. But after 3-4 years in my hands they are starting to look dull and i've had it up to the moon with having to clean such an intricate wheel in white :(

Thank you for your opinions and everyone is more than welcome to add their comments/vote but I am 100% solid that black is never going to happen! It is no MCR touge monster!

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
