I think that would look awesome, maybe try a local body shop to get it color matched?

No wheel manufacturers will have anything even remotely close to Solar Orange in their wheel line, a bodyshop will be able to spray them to an almost perfect or perfect match.

Forum rule #12:

Always complain about wheels that you cannot find rather than select from the hundreds available.

Agreed it would look hot, but in most cases its a custom job.

That looks sick! I guess its not that difficult pinstriping a round shape instead of a flat surface?

Nope. especially not vinyl. its stretches so if you did your circumference calculations correctly (and add 1/2" for overlap to cut down so it sticks better) for the size wheel you want, just put down one side and go slow and slightly stretch and stick as you go around. with the RE30s there is a mini step lip which i followed that kept the lines fairly straight-

wash the wheel with dishsoap to remove all wheel grime and dust, dry off, use alcohol pad, let dry, then stick on...

should take like, 5 min a wheel if you go slow- if you mess up, just get another strip!
