Looks like a well done job. Congrats. Goes very good with the color of your car. You might want to consider stick on wheel weights that will go on the inside of the rim. Looks much cleaner that way.

The flames are sort of a nod to the old muscle car & hotrod days. Power never had anything to do with flame placement though.

Thanks everyone, yeah they do look similar to the bullit wheels in that picture.

Great pics! your rims look great!

i want to paint mine black to go for a black on white.

What kind of tape did you use to tape the lip? and did it bleed through atall?

I bought new center cap inserts with the horse on em, they just haven't shown up yet. I didn't like the "Ford" ones...

I used regular blue painters tape and had no bleed thru issues at all. Taping off the lip was a pita, and probably the worst part of the whole job.
