Very nice rims indeed. Where you planning on getting black TE's? I havent seen any for sale except for 2nd hand.

haha, yeah i had a lot of questions before i took the plunge and got one. this forum is great though, esp the 'what to look for when buying' thread, very handy.

WTTC mate. Congratulations on the buy, you made a good choice. Something similar to those black volks would look awesome.

theres a million places that sell them here in aus. although straight imported from the land of the sun or usa.

j-imports.com.au (used, good but cheap)
jdmconcept.com.au (i think)
musecret.com.au

to name a few

^^^^ nice but money could be better spent elsewere...

Go for a cheaper copy, just my opinion

J · Post by J » Mon Jun 08, 2009 12:25 pm

yeh they look great dont they?

genuine black aswell.

You could always get a copy and powdercoat them black if they dont stock black as a colour. Just my 2cents

haha, yeah no chance im dropping 4.6k on rims.. thats almost half of what i spent on my car!

hmm what does powder coating cost roughly for 4 rims?

J · Post by J » Mon Jun 08, 2009 3:37 pm

a few months ago the cheapest i got quoted was 60bux a wheel.... And another shop quoted 75bux for sandblasting, tyre removal and paint.

Paint choices were endless, from matt to sating to high gloss and any colour of your choice from their paint selection. Although it would be different where you are.

chuster · Post by **chuster** » Mon Jun 08, 2009 8:23 pm

I reckon if youre gonna paint your rims go gloss black over matt black. Matt black looks dull and dirty imo, thats my 2c

good idea to get quality lock nuts on them? wonder how easy to steal them actually?
