Carbon Fiber Wrap Stock Wheels!
 
Hey I was thinking about working on my stock wheels. I really like the dark color of the wheels, I think it compliments the asphalt color very nice. So I was thinking how about carbon vinyl wrap (matte black) on the lighter aluminum color of the wheels.

What do you guys think?

Sorry, I think personally that's kind of tacky but it's your own car. Besides that, I wonder what the durability of the vinyl will be on wheels.

I wouldn't do it lol, but it's your car.

So what should i do I rather not plasti dip them, and I see no good reason to spend money on wheels when the stock ones are not that bad.

Thanks for you opinions, I got the idea from the new acura NSX wheels.

Yes, it would look awesome! However... It looks like a pain to wrap. If you're willing to spend the time, do it!

I'd say no but as the other have said, show us how it looks.
