2006 Facelift CLK500 Cab-
Yea kev the striping came in friday so if I get some stuff done around the house I might get to doing this tonight. That was actually the motivation behind doing the stripe, just to make them look a little more like 19's. The black mixed with the lip and all just makes them look a little smaller than they are.

ok so I need some input fellas:
I pinstriped 2 of the wheels a sec ago and I need feedback.
Btw, if you're thinking about doing this go ahead and don't, it's not too easy to run vinyl around a lip of an all black wheel with no guidelines. I'm going to end up re-doing both of these if I decide to do all 4 just because there are small little imperfections that drive me crazy.
Anyways, what do you think?!?

Yea I honestly am in the same boat Wes, I might just leave those two done and drive it to work tomorrow so I can get a solid daytime before and after.

I don't think it looks bad at all. I seen a guy at custom paint shop paint the stripe with an actual pinstripe brush while mounted on the car spinning. Raised on a jack of course. It was perfect and took like 20 seconds. Black rim, red stripe. pretty sharp.

I like it! Wheels look much bigger (all black always look small) and it subtle. Day pics.

Tough call mate but I still like it because its subtle, works with the silver center-cap.

Hit it with a BFH doing something to the jeep like 2 months ago but I just started having to put it in a splint bc it's not healing.
