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.

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!
