    Man pin striping is a bitch, I cant for the life of me get is consistent around the rim of the wheel!@##$!!>? ReSpekT to anyone who can actually stripe well.
    I'm using pin striping tape, (double white stripes) around the outside of the rim. I can't get a consistent circle? any hints?

    Edit*

    Here's how two of them look so far:

      take a spare hub/strut fix it to something. spin the wheel and apply paint with a brush

      EDIT: 4 different beers would be sweet

              I wanted to do coke bottle caps too, but the design won't work on these wheels because of the center cap and lug holes. That's why Heineken is so perfect because it wraps around the center, and even has the red star that fits perfectly with the cap.

                    That's a great idea!

                    I think 4 different caps would be cool too.

                        they look really cool just like that!

                        most of this shit bores me, but i cant wait to see the finished product.

                                You too! Got a couple of quotes for having some stickers made... $50 seems to be the going rate...

                                Soooo I'm considering doing it with a sharpie... :???:

                                But I'm liking the green wheels as they are HA! I get plenty of "WTF" looks lol
