Like dreamer said, it looks like they are 10 spoke wheels now. I don't know I feel about it though.... They're def unique nd go with your car, but I really like Saleens as they are, so I'm not sure... Nice work either way!

Just gettin' some feedback. HOSS you're right on the $. Just electrical tape cut real quick to see if I liked it or not, that's why it is squared off lookin'. Took me about a half hour to do it, and if I don't like it, it comes off in 5 minutes. I like the way it looks and got some compliments on 'em, but I also like the normal way they look. just wanted something a little different from all the others. I was gonna go to a vinyl graphic shop and give them a template for the actual curves of the spoke on the outside and along the lug to get a more uniform cut and no seams. I guess they would be able to laser cut something like that for me. Thanks for the good comments!

Yeah, like I said. Just wanted to see what they looked like before any paint was applied. That's why it was a rush job. It gave me the effect I wanted without the regret of wishing I never did it. Just pull off the tape and back to what I started with. That's why I'd like to get some pre-cut vinyls. Put 'em on when the mood strikes, take 'em off when it doesn't.

Looking at this thread again, i think it looks even sicker. It's growin on me! Idk how it looks like REAL close, but i bet it can't be THAT bad once it's all done up nicely. Get a sheet of vinyl and cut it out yourself! Trace a template and go from there...
