atropine Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 am i the only one completely unimpressed with those wheels? its probaly jus the pics but hell, the cuts dont even look straight.. and well.. just my opinion but its just a boring wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaMpylobacter Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 heh, I reckon they're tuff as... interesting to see what they're like on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durty Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 they need bolts round the outside 3 pice stz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 They need a few bits touched up for premium wheel coolness. 1. the 4 "spoke" holes in the face need to have bevelled edges with edges painted black 2. needs hexhead bolts for 2-piece look 3. face needs to be given a brushed aluminium look. Once those three things are done, they'll look fucken sweet. Regardless they've got fucken mean dish! (could be bigger 14x11 anyone?)

lofreq Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 they didnt realy come out as good as i hoped - not enough detail on them. i did choose a very simple design as well anyway so my fault. im gonna detail the slots with black and fit the cap screws in the holes i had drilled, to add a bit of interest - the finish also is a bit bland, i guess i took the risk having them done blind. if anything i'll get them re-powdercoated at a later date with a more brilliant finish. perhaps just blacking out the centers and polishing up the inside lip. agreed with what you guys said, pretty uninteresting but i think when on the car and some work done they should look ok for now. they wont be usable till i have my guards rolled, flares fitted, then probably stiffer springs if it bounces too much and hits the guards, all a learning process tho. anyway for a budget based job and first time for me i think they are alright. dont see any one else efforts in this same field - yet they are sitting in my house in aucks, my main prob is getting this engine going here in NP. the 1GGTE is installed and everything, just needs intercooler and exhaust made up. but - shes not firing. turns over, splutters, wont fire. its getting fuel, and spark fine. when we hold the AFM open a bit by hand, you can get her running/idling... but open or close the AFM too much, and she dies. freekin wiring problem has taken 2 days now to solve. gonna try again today to get her running - stopped last nite as we cranked the battery flat starting it all day... i have pics of the swap but no access to FTP them (had to get a friend to FTP those wheel pics up!) hmm maybe i WILL chrome dip them now thinking about it. bah i'll sit on it for a few months and see how i feel. cant please everyone all the time i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 awesoem dude.. chrome dipped would be kinda cool i gues star exhaust with new engine?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drftnmaz Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 yea i recon chrome dipped with the centers painted gloss black *drool* but as for other ppl's attemps check out 'RT's thread on his new wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 can chrome dip that shit till the cows come home, wont change them. IMO IMO IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxtoy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 i sort of agree on the blandness of the centre's, the way i see it though is that in most of those jap hot olds meet pics you can't even see the centre's, everybody's just in love with the dish. full credit for getting off your ass and having something made instead of just putting out the usual "WTB any wheels with deep dish" ad. i can't wait to see them on the car. and i reckon they'd look good in chrome (i can't believe i just said that) with the centre edges blacked out, along with cap screws and all that stuff. cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
