Sooooo, I modded my new wheels!
I bought new 18" wheels/tires and made a few changes to the wheels. Painted them this weekend, hope to have them on Monte soon. I got them because they compliment my stripes on my Monte and the side view of the car was so plain and boring, so these should dress it up.

Thanks! I hand painted the red pinstripe, had to mask off where the silver was in between each red stripe and used black paint and a tiny paintbrush to fill in the little triangle shape that was left on each side of each overlapping silver stripe where it was machined curved design not straight, as you can see here..... Also primed and painted that ugly chrome center cap, then painted the bolt heads part.

Attention to detail 4-Sure...You must have a steady hand & a good brush...I'm sure that you are going to encourage other member's with idea's for their rims...
Looking 4ward to seeing your new one of a kind Custom Rim's on your Monte Carlo

The black center and the red pin stripe looks great!! The stripe I think really makes the wheels. Can't wait to see them on the Monte!!
