Added a red pinstripe to my stock Wheels
Decided to add a red pinstripe to my rims, I think it looks pretty good. Cost 8$ and was really easy to put on, very subtle as well.
Made a DIY, but theres not much to it http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222661 |

Love it. I actually spent some time looking for red and black rims, but couldn't find any that I liked in my price range. Figured I would do what you did, but I don't know anything about painting. Would you explain what products you used and how you did it?

Looks good, OP!
I did (almost) the same thing, but used a $4 roll of 1/4 inch red pinstripe from AutoZone. Good way to change the way the wheels look! And a few other colors are available as well... |

Thanks!
Yours look great! I think 6.5mm is 1/4" actually, so ours are pretty similar, I just needed dark red cause of my CRT. |

You're correct. And I need to look into the pre-curved vinyl. I had never heard of or thought of it before. I want to add red vinyl inside the wheel on the step behind the spokes. I think it would help the spokes "pop" more.

Or do you want to put it inside the rim, like where the weights go? Then you would want normal straight vinyl. |

Yeah the curved stuff will help you out, will probably still be challenging but definitely do-able. I think it would look good

Yes, they're glossed black with CNC machined edges. I just now added a pic to my last post.

Those rims look great! Love that machined edge, the red on the inside will look awesome as well
