well after all the time i put into making the first tire perfect...the paint started flaking off on my ride to and from work so it doesn't work on the black rubber...only the raised white letters i guess

I was afraid that would happen. I don't even know why it sticks to the white, but I do know it will flake off the white if its not scrubbed down good and clean first. I assume you did with the black as well - did you use steel wool?

There is a company that makes great wheels with the nascar look, you can get them from discount tire or other places.

didnt use steel wool...was kind of afraid it would pull some of the rubber off...i guess i'll give that a try once the weather gets better here...rain all weekend
