painted my rims

i planned this during winter and made a few photoshops. and 2 weeks ago i had to change my tires and mount the summer shoes. so the rims had to be painted before and this is how it looks. i like the result:



cheers from switzerland

I agree, I think the strips are too big.

I think if the car was yellow, that wouldn't be too wide.
But since the car's blue, the yellow stands out too much, I think you guys are right, a thinner stripe would be perfect.

But still, it's striking! And sure gonna turn heads!

I think the problem lies in the Sport Designs being 2-pieces and having no dish...

The Sport Designs are what more than likely forced him to do it that way.... Your on the other hand would come out much better given you don't have that 2=pc. to deal with..... The example is the whole outside I did but I can easily be modified.




The Sport Designs really look nice with Black Centers and Polished lips IMO.

THAT WING THOWS ME OFF.... I would switch it over to the MKI since it doesn't really match the rest of the car.. again IMO....

I think that cgt is vralex's. I love that yellow look. I think i may do that to my SSR's when i get board of the gun metal finish.

I had to stare at it for a few mins, but i think your car looks GREAT! good work!
