Red Rim Outline

Ok I have a black 04 and I just powder coated my rims black. I dont have them back yet, but have been looking around and was curious if anybody knows where to buy a custom red outline sticker made for our 18" wheels. I found an 18 piece kit on ebay, but im thinking that a universal kit for 15"-18" wheels is going to look pretty crappy. Maybe ill just have to get a red pinstripe painted.

Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Heres is a link to the look im talking about: http://hookupshop.com/project/RX8/Pa...nsidegrill.jpg

Just spin the wheel and touch it with a brush. It will paint a perfect circle all the way around.

Seriously, you take a small brush and hold it in one place as the wheel turns. As long as your hand is braced and steady, it will make a perfect circle. It will be easier than trying to get that pinstripe tape even all the way around.

yup, did mine with pinstriping tape from Autozone...cost 3 bucks for enough material to do more than just 4 rims. They have two or three sizes (widths), as well as many different colors. Best part, if you start going crooked, just peel it back up and reapply.

This seems like it wouldn't be easy to see at speed, but check out the action shot, the redline is very noticeable.
