[QUOTE="PhantomX, post: 14603911, member: 105905"] So I haven't been totally thrilled with the all black wheel that I chose. I've been looking at the SVE matte black drift's and will probably end up getting those but until I do I thought I'd play around with my wheels to see if I could at lease accent the look a little. I was thinking maybe machine the spokes or something to help bring the shape of the wheel out. Got a wild hair up my ass and thought lets throw some good old fashion wheel tape on them. I've been doing it to motorcycles for years and it really brings the look out nicely. Figured why not try it on the car. So after some tinkering with colors and designs I ended up with this. Overall thought it came out pretty nice. The cool part is if I don't like it just peel it off. Or if I want to go crazy I could a different color. Really thought about yellow that would pop nicely. If I want to make it permanent I could have my paint guy just paint the design on. Here's what $5 and little patience can do... Before: [ATTACH=full]619025[/ATTACH] After: the color is actually silver but the light made this one look a little white. [ATTACH=full]619026[/ATTACH] As you step back a bit it blends in pretty good: [ATTACH=full]619027[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]619028[/ATTACH] I could get it painted on or have the spokes machined to give it a more factory look or just say screw it and get the SVE wheels lol...
