I was going to do the red bow tie mod on my wheels, but I instead just ditched the stockers (if I was to keep them, I would have done it).
Great work though!! That is probably one of the best things to help improve the look of those wheels!

Next, put a red bow tie on your steering wheel

Yeah I'd like to get some style black rims lime 18s but this dresses the stockers, but the rims and tires will stay with me seeing how the tires are all almost new I'd like to paint mine black, but I think I'd regret it lol

Yellow would be neat. I used 3-D Paint (some call it puffy paint) from the local arts/crafts store. I had to "paint" it on with a tooth pic and it took about 3 coats (to get the right lines, text and what not). Took about 10 minutes a coat to do. Very easy to do.

Here's more info about it:
