thanks guys

yeah my friend was saying how calipers float now since there is more of a difference in colors. i've been trying to decide what color to do my calipers

black on yellow looks nice.. oh and that wasnt my beer, my friend set it like that and thought it'd be a cool pic. im only 19

That stuff is pretty clever as a winter wheel saver and looks good too. How hard is it to remove? I assume it's just temporary right?

Yeah, same here. That's why I painted the whole "spokes" area black and left the lips in between polished.

I think white would look like poop it'd probably get gross after a while. Black is definitely the way to go.

Looks great, did you clear them? I helped paint a buddy of mine's wheels, and we got too drunk to apply the clear... needless to say they chipped to ****!

But ya, they look sick! nice work.
