I did some modding today and Time Attacked my OEM 18" powdercoated wheels using a red vinyl ring I purchased (for BMW CSL wheels)
How I did it
-Washed the rims
-Mixed up a spray bottle of water/soap solution...sprayed the outer lip of the rim
-Layed the vinyl ring onto the rim and moved it into place.
-The ring was about an inch too long for the rim. I got the ring into position and brought the extra to one spot on the rim. From there I cut the piece down the middle and overlapped the extra onto each other. Once it dried up a bit, I took a razor and did a straight cut in the middle of the two overlapping pieces and removed the extra.
This was my first time I've ever worked on an overlay. I could have done a better job getting the ring to the extreme edge of the lip but it was very easy to work with. If I decided this look is a keeper for me, ill probably wind up selling these and doing it all over again on a set of OEM coupe 19s.
