Thinking Of Spraying My Oem Wheels

are you sure you want the lip in red? how about a pinstripe instead? i have black turbo twists that I'm getting pinstripped tomorrow. I'll post pics.

but in the meantime, I'll work on your image for you...

Seal gray with a polished look might be a little better...

Or maybe if it was just the same red as the calipers it would be perfect

i used the maroon red only because of the photos quality...i would advise using the same red as the calipers too...notice how the red stripe is the same as the caliper? again...its just the quality of the image and the lighting...if i made them red-red...it would look like they were glowing in this pic.

Not feelin that too much but then there is a fair share of blingyness on my car.

Blingyness could be a word you know!

Well I was not so keen on the idea of spraying oem wheels until today ....I saw a 996TT silver with Black sprayed oem wheels just like yours and mine. Are these called Turbo Twist?
They looked awesome. I may consider this for my silver 996

yeah pinstripe tape them
you can get red pinstripe tape from like pep boys or autozone.
it's cheap, does the trick perfectly.
