Seriously beautiful. Had I seen that combo I might have ordered my car in blue instead of white just to do this.
But now since I have white - how would white wheels look? I know, stock paint is pearl white, and I'm not sure I'd bother trying to match the pearl effect or just go white. Actually, I was thinking to keep the black spoke, and paint the rest white. Would it be easier to paint it all white then razor blade the lines where I want to peel off and show the black underneath? Or just mask it all one time and spray it? Masking would be a major pain... |

i would like to see someone paint the inner/outter spokes different colors. I think it will look great if you do matching colors or just lighter/darker tones.

I think it doesn't like hard core driving. I mean when brake's get red hot.
Because after that it started bubling and pealing of. |

not sure if this thread only allows stock rims, but here is my first dip job. Matte white base layer x2, blaze blue x4, then pearlizer x1.
