As long as we're looking at SS wheels, I'll let you critique this one.

I'd like to get the rims blacked out, Then do the yellow ring. Thats the plan anyway.

Did you get the stock 7mm width in the decals? How hard were they to install? They look good on the stock wheels, keep us posted with some pics when you put them on!
Screaming black SS, did you use the stock 7mm width?
Were they hard to apply?

I have to agree with you, not loving the gold lugs with all of the yellow accents. kind of clash....
Good luck getting a paint to stay on them.

I went with the 1/4" for 18" rims

I thought is was super easy to apply.

Ya, my 18 year old daughter instantly said , Loose the gold.
( you'll see on ebay , They look yellow, They are not.)

The nice thing is , A change is always only an hour or two away.

I just might have to order a set in red as that's the color I painted my rotors. To bad I didn't see your yellow first, I really like that look.
Did Duplicolor have the ceramic rotor paint in the yellow?

Also, keep us posted on any problems with the decals, like peeling....
I have my winter wheels on so I wouldn't get my stock wheels (with there new stripes) on until spring.

Hmmmmm, I wonder how my wife would feel about me bringing in my wheels to properly clean them and apply the stripes
