Brushed Lip with Pin Stripe??

Hey guys,

Had a customer request a wheel with brushed center & lip with red pin stripe & hardware. Haven't really seen a wheel like this so i thought i'd share it with the board. Anyone interested in something like this or a finish of a different sort, can pm me for a personalized quote. thanks, alain

The pin stripe, 2 color tone probably willl only look good on super exotic sports car like Lambo or Ferrari with "interesting" color. Don't think they will look good on Mercedes...
