^ Good call. I never even thought about that when I was browsing through the pictures.

I'm doing just a simple solid red lip on mine. I was messing around in PS earlier today to see how Phimosis' idea would look on mine, so I did the rear wheel.

I think it's cool but I am still going with the simpler red lip, but I think his setup will have the potential to look really cool.

Hey, thanks for the photochop on that. +1 rep for you!

That is a bit much. Hmm. Wasn't really trying to pimp it out. Maybe I could get the theme to match up if I put a salt water fish tank in the hatch, or make the rear license plate flip down to reveal an LCD TV and have rap videos to match what I'm playing on my system......

Lol. Anyways, I'm committed to the project now. I'll set it up, ride it like that for a while and if it bugs me, I'll strip them again and redo them with just the lip. If they crack because I've ran them through the powdercoat oven too many times, I'll get new wheels. Chances are I'll end up spending less than getting a set of high end wheels from the outset.

Either way, I'll keep you guys posted so others can learn from my mistakes or succes.

Thanks.

The door handles absolutely need to be painted black, though. They stick out like a sore thumb with the black wheels.

Again, very crude. This would be stock silver with black.

Wow, thanks +rep...

I think I like the front better....black with just a pinstripe around the edge. Looks pretty sweet IMO.

I like the black powder coat and the stripe around the lip. I might have to consider doing that with a yellow stripe. I already have a couple dings around the lip of my rims, can those be fixed?
