I know a guy... He did my stock Clubby rims. $150 cash per rim. He comes and puts your car on stands, takes the wheels away and returns them 48hrs later.

End result...

The alternative is a smash repairer / paint shop but they will probably cost more and take longer (this is Canberra after all).

PM me if you want the details for the guy that did my Clubsport.

I have considered that option for the R36 but I think I also want a more agressive style of wheel. Decisions, decisions....

As for the BBS - don't like the style.

is that just a black powdercoat Rocket? I wouldnt mind getting the standard rims shadowchromed! think it would look good on the grey car?

Shadow chrome would look ace on a grey car.

Have to agree. The black rims look great on the Clubsport!

Will your mate do shadow-chroming?

Pretty sure he'll do any colour you want. The price I quoted was for matte black and I paid him cash. Shaddow chrome will likely cost more. If I were going for a nice dark shaddow chrome gloss finish, I'd speak to a paint & panel shop first.

I'm after something like this - must be black, charcoal for the most part. Here's the sort of things I'm liking and that I'd like to see on my R36.

Not sure about the red lip. I think the polished lip will set off the wheels nicely with the chrome strips on the car but still make it look more aggressive but not a fan of the polished centre - prefer it black.

Can someone confirm the fitment on the R36? Is it 5x112 with +45 offset?
