ok aparently my forum time-zone stuff is a little wacky. ANYWAY...! i got the centercaps from Lyle from Vinyl Styles - they look amazing. application on all 4 centercaps took MAYBE 10 minutes TOPS for all four. its very easy very simple.
i will take pics when i find my camera. otherwise it changed the entire appearance of the (already painted black) wheel

I'm definitely doing this mod once it gets warm enough to paint again. I have the same rims as Spdu4ia and I love the way this is looking. I was just going to wait until I could afford some new aftermarket rims ... but this is a good compromise since all my money is going to pay off the car itself ... lol

def do this mod - very fun, very easy, very rewarding. in 6-7 hours time you can change the entire appearance of your car for under $50 (depending on paint selection etc). this is one of the most rewarding mods aside from tint that can be done within a few hours and is cheap. keep us posted with info and pics.

I'd love to hear if anyone has any tips on making the red lip like Spdu4ia's Mini. Just masking tape before painting? I'm not sure I would be able to get it to look right if I mask it myself.
I guess I can always try it and just black over it if I'm not happy. I've got a while to plan this out though before it's warm enough for paint here in Indiana.

That's a good question about the lip. It's hard to see which part of the rim the lip is on but if it's a 17" wheel then if you got a perfect circle that was 16.5" diameter then you could tape the center over the center of your wheelcap and spray paint the outside giving you .25 inches on each side all the way around? I'd bet you could find something at a crafts store like Michaels etc..
I'm just brainstorming here...Otherwise you might need to be an expert taper.
I have another set of bridgespokes to do in the spring...I am going to clear coat them for a gloss look this time and perhaps go for a lip...we'll see in the spring!
