I definitely like the smaller stripe (as on the CGT) better, but black & polished is probably the best looking IMO.

I've been thinking about new wheels for a few months but the sport designs on mine look great if not a tad small, I think 19's would be perfect. Anyone care to photoshop this with ideas?

Beautifull car and I do agree that the sport designs look great on your car. I would NOT do a yellow stripe on the sport designs with your car. It would be a lot of yellow and sport designs aren't the ideal wheel to be doing this on IMO...

Polishing the lip and blacking the centers would look amazing however with your yellow calipers!

Thanks Iceman, props to you as well!
Black centers with a polished lip may just do the trick, or sell the sport designs and jump into some light 19's.

I know of a guy on ebay that does it for bikes he can do a red as well as yellow. I think he charges like 8 bucks a wheels for the thinner looking stripe that u can just apply, I am going to do this to experiment with my new look and see, it looks better with a smaller stripe on larger wheels at the inner edge of the wheel lip.

I needed a set of extra wheels recently. Found and bought these Techarts used. After concidering repainting to red, blue or polished edge I´ve decided to go with all black. I´m sure it would have looked better on a Speed Yellow car...

Ha,ha...Yeah, that part was just for a joke with another friend. The pic was not meant for publishing.
Here are som better pix if the car, without the Techarts. But it wears black rims most of the time anyway.
