the chosen colour was purple.
as i said before, quiet over the black/bronze/gun metal colour for the rim choices..
a friend mentioned getting them red, but i thought the car would look like maccers on wheels (red and yellow)
purple was chosen simply because it is my favourite colour (i ain;t gay)
and i thought the yellow and purple would look great together so i went along with it......

one rim was done;


infact i had to spray the insides of the rim also because you can actually see the insides even on the car


i then started sanding/masking/prepping the other 3 rims



i tried to fix the gutter rashes as much as i could



hmmmm... doesn't look TOO BAD....



after 3 coats of purple were applied on each rim, i let it sit for a few days.
the last step was to finish it off with a clear coat.
i used the rust guard GLOSSY clear coat to finish things off; 3 coats were applied on each also.





all was pretty much done, last step was just to go to the tyre shop and wrap these babies on;


any feedback on would be great, would like to hear different opinions.

I like em!
Black or gun metal grey would look too bland on a yellow car.

dam they look so much better. great work love them

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM what wheel cleaner? i will have to work much harder on my wheels to get the insides all perfectly clean..

i LOVE cleaning..

this should be good motivation for cazSW20 to fix up his wheels.

they are on the car now, just abit lazy with pics..
will get some pics up soon.. the purple advans on the yellow sw20 is growing on me.. loving it!

nice one Nic, my car has yet to go anywhere from stock!

OK an update on little things added from here and there..
Advans are on, but i realized i should of ran 40 instead of 50 on tyres because the rears scrubs lightly with the guard when i corner it alittle too fast
and 50s looked abit fat for my liking, would've been perfect if i ran 40 and lower it more with the coilovers.. but oh well.. trial and error comes perfect.
i am very happy with the DIY finish on the rims, i can't say its perfect.. but it was my first attempt and its that satisfaction feeling everytime i look at it which money cannot buy.
Anyway a few minor add ons.. mainly cosmetics, not ready to touch the engine yet;
-Windows were tinted 15% dark (except the front window and targa top windows).
-Orange front indicators were replaced with a clear ones and i decided to tint the side reflectors! (was too bling for my liking) turned out pretty well, something different!
-Leather TRD gearknob
and some JDM touch added with the "MR2 DANDISM" decal on the rear window and some checkered floor mats

Now waiting for the arrival of the Fujitsubo Legalis R catback exhaust from dylan!

how it stands now;



had a few comments on the car looking like the basketball team LAKERS... LOL
criticisms welcome.
