are they nice jap rims or just cheap ones? and how much do u wanna spend?

personally if they're a nice set of rims and u dont wanna skip on quality powdercoat them for a few hundred dollars

i wouldnt pay a few hundred just to paint them, paint scratches easily, a good quality paint wont scratch as easily but if its gonna cost you a few hundred dollars thats round about the same price to powdercoat them.

i painted my stockies with a very cheap brand spray can (primer then gloss black) about a year ago and they're still fine today no chips no faded paint its still surprisingly good haha and i wash the car regularly and drive it daily, and the best part about this way is it'll cost you $5, if u do hit a gutter or something u can always touch it up with the leftovers in the can using a brush and if u dont like how it looks just rub it down with thinners.

Did some calling around myself a few weeks ago regarding this, this was probably the best I came up with:

Diamond Powder Coaters

2/51 Division St, Welshpool WA 6106‎ - (08) 9258 4355‎

Guy I spoke to was called Martin

Said that for $50 a rim they do: sandblast rim, primer and topcoat/powdercoat

Going to be getting my existing Advan AVS's done if the car doesn't sell in the next 2 weeks :rofl2:

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • 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!
