i really really like the idea. your defo getting your own style going! but a deeper red would have been alot better! IMO i think they look hard wheels to do as a DIY

I would defo keep the idea but get them powdercoated

cheers for the comments guys
the pics don't really show the true colour the colour is actually rolls royce cardinal red (burgundy)
when you see it in natural light they look great
i will be at edition if you want to have a proper look
i will be losing the red strip at some point when i get the lips repolished
they were an absolute pain to mask up as they are not genuine splits and the fake studs don't come out without breaking (as i discovered)
