Is there a way to DIY this yourself? Or can this only be done by a shop with paint?

 

wow

 

lolllll......

idk, but i wouldn't DIY any kind of paint on your rims.....

 

just mask off the whole rim and paint the lip.

 

hahaa... I guess by the responses I seem to have asked a really dumb question. But I dont know where.. but in a thread ive read on this forum, I read somewhere about a guy doing it himself. And its not actually paint.. its some sort of strip that you can just put on the rims.

Was wondering if anyone has seen or heard or has done this before.

 

Its pinstriping tape guys! thats the answer.. I'll get more details and let u guys know.

 

unless it's a stiff circle already, it would be impossible to get a perfect circle with tape , unless you use some kind of stencil i guess....still would be rough

 

thats what I think too.. but others have done it. Im gonna get feedback from them and see how they manage to do it.

 

i say just don't do it.
What wheels do you want to do it to?

Take it to a shop if you do decide to do it.

 

Nothing specific just yet.. but something with a lip on it. Maybe the Vossen VVS-082. Its pretty nice on it.

Any thoughts how much a shop might charge for this?

 

Why waste money on getting them painted? Find a local vinyl shop and have them cut out a set of red circles for you, this would be the cheapest and easiest way to get them done.

 

Thanks for the advice Ionic.

Definately a good idea. Much easier then taping.

 

No problem
