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.

j-imports.com.au (used, good but cheap)

^^^^ nice but money could be better spent elsewere...
Go for a cheaper copy, just my opinion

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?

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.

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?
