Hey! Need some help deciding what to do with my wheels, they need some freshning up!

They're 19"x9.5 and 19"x8.5 TSW Thruxton with grey spokes/polished lip.

The car has got Millenium Jade paint and rusty bolts airbrushed here and there, also the enginebay and trunk is Kandy Apple red :P

Heres how my thoughts go:

Matte black spokes/Gloss black lip

OR

Black spokes/Millenium Jade lip

I dont think its worth trying to implement the Kandy Red on the wheels cause enginebay and trunk wont show when i drive around, right :geek:

Car as it looks now:

imho those wheels look cheap and tacky... you spent sooo much money on the paint and then went and destroyed all that work with cheap chinese shit...

as i said in a thread of yours a while back, go meisters with rusted spokes and polished lip :)

Polished lip with shadow chrome spokes, gotta keep the polished lip though.

imho jap wheels are over rated and most do not suit the style of jap cars, most people get them for one of two reasons, (A) light weight (B) brand name, most of the people on this forum would get them for B

pop-rivets that hold the body kit on I'm guessing

The wheels where rather expensive, believe it or not, might be my bad there, so i'd prefer to keep them, although in a perfect world they would be 19" SSR Professor's or Work Meister's ;) Also getting my hands on a set of Professors or Meisters is hard when you sit in Sweden, any tips where to find them on auction, worldwide?

Heres two Photoshoped version to give a hint, im not longer all that sure about the black/black version :S:

    • Details: Turbo Borg Warner EFR 9180 with 1.05 rear housing Upgraded TurboSmart integrated BOV Sanded and powdercoated compressor cover in gloss black Elbow welded with wiggins clamp Speed Sensor(Not included) (Can include oil drain(heat wrapped + titanium intake pipe with almost new filter for a tad extra). Manifold: 6 Boost RB26/30 twin scroll manifold  e-MAP ports drilled into both scrolls(I was using the TAARKS EMAP KIT) Turbo is in excellent condition. Always used Penrite 15w50 Racing oil(Changed less then 2000ks). Also using the Turbosmart OP regulator and filter. Downpipe: 4inch Stainless steel with VBand inlet and outlet clamps(included) Heat wrapped Dual ports for Dyno/Wideband usage Will throw in free 2.5 inch intercooler pipe(2.5inch From turbo outlet to 3.5 inch intercooler) - Powder coated black. Turbo made 563rwkw on mainline hub dyno at around 24-25psi boost - Pump fuel. Will def make over 600kw on e85. Didn't bother as my e-MAP was through the roof with my setup sitting past the choke line. I have a cnc ported and fully built head on my 3.2. Turbine speed saw max of around 109k rpm. I'm running this on my R32 GTR, with AC, and the original power steering pump. The manifold clears the AC lines, ABS, and everything else. Although I had new AC lines because I just wanted new ones and I heat wrapped them as well. This will make more power on a slightly lower capacity motor with a higher PR. And I have since upgraded to a G45-1500. Have pics and videos if need be.  Absolutely nothing wrong with setup. Turbo is in perfect condition. No shaft play or oil leaks at all. All the work was professionally done. The transient response of this is fkn amazing. I cannot rave more about this turbo. If I wasn't chasing 4 figures, I would have kept it. $5000 NZ. Located: Auckland, New Zealand.    
    • I particularly like the look of the John Player Special team. (Thumbnail isn't different but hit play for the clip)  
    • Such a cool collection of cars back then.  
    • Mystery solved, thanks bro Bit of a strange mix, but i dont mind it, still looks good. 
    • nah no problems with bearings or hubs.  just the water pump leak and my AC death
