I agree about white wheels on the blue car ideas but in this case I don't think I'll be power coating these ones. Deal is done, picking them up in the next few days. Moar pics once their on. Thanks for your input guys.

Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

Gen3's need dish IMO I'm with cruisn on these though, they are a very nice looking wheel but not for the gen3. Then again it's your car and as long as you like them thats all that counts

powdercoating is surpisingly cheap though... i dropped mine off this morning... getting them done in a pearl black/grey... $30 per wheel and $10 to chemically clean each wheel on top... $160 for all 4 wheels i think is a bargin!

Rims are all mine picked them up this arvo. I can see I might have an issue going from 205/17" to 235/18" but I'll figure it out when they get balanced this weekend.

Just buy them already. They look f**king brilliant.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Bling is not my thing.

I want to keep it subtle, but have something different to other Gen3's/B4's (especially in Perth).

If I wanted bling and attention from teh man's i would have bought a wrx or a <insert jap accent> hunda uccord u-row.

Better than what? Aids?

Alex pick up some 3.0R-b brakes. Brembos definitely won't fit - not sure about 4 pots, but the larger diameter 3.0Rb brakes should be more than enough.

I knew Brembo's wouldn't fit, but I was hoping something stronger than the B4 standard "quick-fade" edition brakes could be replaced with at least rexxy 4-pots.

What came on the 3R-b? 2/4pot?
