Aussie wheel tech/discussions

Silver and polished sounds perfect for what you want, Seb. Clean, classy, and won't draw any unwanted attention. Unless you do a small change just for a bit of effect, like brushed lips or something subtle like that?

Yeah, I was thinking silver centers for sure. But then I will have two sets of silver RS' so will need to do something subtle to this set. Brushed lips, machined centers maybe...

So what are the best sites to look for wheels in Japan ??
Keen to start hunting for the E30, even though i haven't bought one yet.

[Beware]

Yahoo.

And on the topic of LM's, aren't they a factory face mounted wheel 90% of the time?

[GJA003]

Thanks
Thinking a set of Hayashi Racing Techno R for the E30.
If i can find a set....... Want to steer away from the typical BBS RS's ect on E30's.
Anyone know of any thing similar style wheels, i could look for if i cant find any ??

Yeah they are, but the lip on the centre is pretty small. Like if I was the face mount them only the lip would be supported by the centre. Leaving the barrel to be resting on just the bolts, which is pretty dodgy.

dunno i like the reverse mount look haha. by sandwich did you mean like the rs where it's LIP FACE LIP?

my old lm's were reverse mounted, extra dishhzz

Wheels yo. I have 4 sets pulled apart waiting to be refurbed and made pretty for my new car that I bought with a screwed camshaft so haven't even been able to drive it yet... Hopefully replacement parts coming this week.

Any colour suggestions for wheels on a silver car?... Normally I like my wheels silver (not a fan of bright look at me deals) think that silver on silver could look a little bland though. (not black)

Will be contacting whitehorse soon. Hoping someone had a rough price for lips and barrels for a whole set?

[Lukey]

I think im going full polish on jess's next set..... which will be the biggest cunt ever.

fuck that

Yep barrel|centre|lip.

I can go reverse mount actually. Would be clean as. But what about colours? Having the same trouble as Anth haha..

[rom2nv]

i prefer reverse mount LM's, and full polished is pretty sick, some guy on FB posted a set of futuras with pretty shiny inner barrels, looks great!

[Oxer]

I could never polish barrels...... one drive, brakedust...... yeah fuck that.

Foff. Reverse mounted 18" silver LM on a silver mk4. Think it looks decent because the whole car is colour coded like yours. (I have black trim everywhere)

[andrewn]

I've never seen sandwiched lm's actually

[rom2nv]

I could never polish barrels...... one drive, brakedust...... yeah fuck that.

yeah maintaining the outer lips alone can be enough of a pain on a daily haha

[foffa]

mmm aight. much to think about. need to sell my body some more to afford this shiiit
