Silver Edge On Black Rims.

[joeltorpy]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows where I would go in North Brisbane to get a silver rim on the edge of already black rims. My knowledge/experience is very limited.

Thankyou in advance,

Joel.

You're looking for a polished lip? Some wheels are made up of three different pieces. It would be easier if yours was 2 or 3 piece.

You could take it to a sprayer but I guess it depends on the wheel. I would imagine if you had a lot of spokes it may be difficult. They may want to remove all the paint and start from scratch

Don't live in Brisbane so can't help you there.

Good luck.

I am yeah the polished lip. I'm not sure how many pieces mine is but it's only 5 spoke, Thanks for the reply.

[Therealsandybang]

Yeah no worries. It's difficult. Try and get them sandblasted and powder coated

love that look, went with Machine/Gloss Black

Might b cheaper selling yours and getting some newbies ??

[joeltorpy]

That looks fantastic. I wouldn't have thought it would be cheaper to get entirely new ones. Mine are currently 20" black 5 spokes but I will ask around.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

these are not the cheapest but there are others that are not as expensive. Not sure what it would cost to have yours changed?

here is a side on pic

[joeltorpy]

Yeah I'm just not sure what sort of place would even do it?

Powder coaters will do it, sand blast coating off, powder coat centre of rim, polish lip... Def not my type of look though...

[Nismo 3.2ish]

What sort of money do they charge for a set?

I had the original rims, bronze I think but had the car-yard put some black Lenso's on, after a while I wish I had kept them.

Looked around and bought the Advan rims, I think all black needed a lift and got the machined look and love it on a black car

But buying rims is a personal thing.So I have a set of Black Lenso 18x10 +22 Project D in very good condition (3000Klms) for sale.

I loved these but ended up selling them for a song

Rims are a personal choice butt there is a few types that everyone seems to like

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Love your car and the rims looked pretty good to me, I wonder how they would have looked if you had the spokes sprayed the same colour as your car ?

Black on black seems too heavy, still looked good, but?

What brand were they and what did you end up selling them for??

[Sinista32]

Diamond Black Volk GTC's 18 x 9.5 +12. $1500 or just under

Bought for $3000ish, No rash when sold

I think same colour would have made it look like a Hairdressers car

haha,what do you charge for a cut?

It seems half retail price is the go when selling them in good nick

Post some shots with the new rims, love a look:)

[75coupe]

Half retail, your joking right?

[joeltorpy]

Sinista those rims look great! I do love the polished edge it just defines the rim and seperates the black from the tyre. Powder coaters hey ill ask.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Half retail, your joking right?

for new condition rims, yes and you would have to be crazy not to take something in new condition for half price because someone will?

[Sinista32]

I bought the Diamond Black Volk GTC's second hand for $3k. I expect they went for somewhere over $4K new.

Now I run the Nismo Omori LE LMGT4's.
