    Re: Should i do this!

    If your car was all black I'd say do it up, but it just looks awkward. Leave that shit alone, put the money towards something else. (I would've suggested painting your lowers, but it seems that half the people out there don't want to. I'm sure you could do something else with the money you would spend painting the wheels).

    Powder coat to match your lowers, then lay down the paint in red. Love that. My father has a silver Corvette with black powder coated rims and a red Corvette sticker on a spoke, looks awesome.

    Re: Should i do this!

    i say go for it! in red though. lime green/pink would look good too but you have a silver car and the only colour on there is red from the tailights (and amber if you have cleared your corners) so i think a red design just so you don't mix and match too many colours.

    Re: Should i do this!

    Go for it man. i like the idea alot. tints would help to set off the wheels also. A+ on the idea. clean up your rotors when you do it and try to incorporate the same colors into them. Thats my two cents. do what you feel and run with it. like the car otherwise i think your heading in the right direction.

    Actually looks pretty good with the unpainted lowers. But forget about that for now, hurry up with my HIDs !

    I say do it, one spoke design or not.

    Re: Should i do this!

    When I saw that VR6 pic I thought "cheese", but with your p/s it looks sweet. Definitly red!! And don't over do the skulls, keep it subtle, don't cover the entire spoke. Really something different, hat's off.

    Re: Should i do this!

    I got an idea to add, make sure you do it on opposite spokes, so both spokes you put the red on arent both pointing upwards. That would look hot.

    I got all my stuff from Go Media Arsenal. I have you see there Adobe Illustrator, so i will make my own stencil. If you know how to use Illustrator and like anything from Go Media, let me know the Package Number and the name of the file and ill send it to you.

    Hope that helps
