And you're ugly, too (OLD joke).

The pin stripe reminds me of Tiger Paw tires which had a thin, red pin stripe. I'd have to see how it look over all. Might not be bad unless it begins to come off in blotches. But if you really want an opinion, clean the inside of the tire wells.

Looks cool to me in an old school hot rod way. I need to see a side shot of the whole car before I totally commit to liking it...

Just curious how you painted it. There are others in the forum that have done various paint jobs on their wheels and I always wonder about the durability.

Also, I always worry about too much bling or artwork on wheels since it can overpower the overall look of the car; another reason I'm not a fan of larger wheels. But that stripe may be sublime enough to do the trick.

Looking forward to those pics.

I agree witht the others, it's hard to make a determination w/out seeing the whole car.
