@ kevin, I was wondering what you meant by stickers, lol.

All in all I wanted something different, many people just black everything out and go that route but I didn't want" murdered out." I have got a few random comments at the gas station filling up from people who like it and I love catching people looking while they are driving, lol.

I think the black spoke with the orange emblem would look great. Thats what I would do too. I was thinking just the rotory triangle but the 8 in the middle is a great idea. I guess it just depends on how big you want the emblem to be on there.

In all honesty...have you cleared them yet? I know it would be alot of work but you can just do one to see if you like it, and if not sand em back down and repaint em lotta work but then you know.

Hell ya, thats what it is about driving an 8, Im not one to really show off thats why I like what your doing, id never be able to pull it off. But love the idea. Best part of my day everyday is when I can see people just eyein me up

. For me or the car

either is fine

I hate that! Every car I've ever bought had mismatched tires. Now I have same model and size all around and I get them rotated and balanced every 3K.
This car has great handling but every car needs safe tires.
