The wheels are 3 piece IForged Sprint - bought used with no center caps so I improvised.
I'm toying with the idea of changing the colour of the centers. I think gold will look best but I'll wait till after the body paint to decide.
Why not wrap? 3M Black Rose or ORACAL Purple Red seem to be what you're looking for. Comparing wrap to paint in terms of the monetary aspect, there is no comparison. A $3000 wrap will look better than a $3000 wrap. There are cons to everything, one of which is that wrap isn't as glossy as paint nor is it permanent, but that's the beauty of it.

I wrapped my own car last summer, spent $385 on the material plus about 30 hours of my own time after work. Not impossible. My corners aren't perfect but I have no creases or bubbles anywhere, so for my first time wrapping I'd say it came out pretty well. Not trying to brag or sound conceited, just saying there are other (and sometimes better) alternatives out there.

Cool, but he is painting it himself. I think wraps look good though.
