Well, as baller status as rotas can get.

black with red lip - been done 673658 times, red with black lip - different, but will make the wheel appear to be smaller cause the black lip will match the tire, white with red lip - that's kind of different...

is red the only option for color?

That would be the easy way.. you can do it for about 20 bucks for all the wheels... sand paper + polish + time + fingers/friends = :shock: the wow effect!

- Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:45 pm #121767 You need sand paper to get that shine... I recommend you buy this stuff called "Peeler" clear coat and paint remover. Ive used it and loved it. Its real easy to use and its in a spray can. It will get all the paint off. Then start sanding. I would start off with about a 800 grit, then move to 1000 grit and then finish it off with 1500 grit. You will see the shine coming out as you do this. Its takes ALOT of time but the end result is sweet. Oh and when your done spray the wheels down with a clear coat to prevent them from dulling out. :thumb:
