thinking about doing time attack, input needed
i was thinking about time attacking my rims with some 1/2 red pinstriping. thing is, i have polished lips and want to go for as close as an authentic look as possible.
my question is do you guys think i could get some 2 inch black pinstriping and use that to cover the polished portion? is there any way i would be able to do this successfully without any bubbles while making it look good? im pretty good when it comes to these types of things but im not sure if this is humanly possible. also do you think that the pinstriping could damage the rims at all, or melt from heat?
i dont know if this is gonna be worth the time or not, just looking for what you guys think would work. the way i see it is if i want to do this properly, i would have the wheel completly disassembled, and for all that work, i might as well have the lips anodized red. but that would be a pretty penny.
also gary when you put the red striping on were you able to keep it uniform all around the wheel, or did it get a little warped? thanks for the unput!

Try axiswheels.com . They just released the HIRO in flat black with a red pinstripe. They even have a three inch lip!
