So I just picked up a set of stock steel wheels for winter wheels. Problem is that even though they're winter wheels, I do care at least a little how they'll look on EVE, being as she's Summit White.
My first thought was to paint the wheels a different color than black. (Silver/Gunmetal/White?) Problem is that if it didn't look good, I'm stuck having to repaint, which causes another set of issues on it's own.
So tonight, I had a crazy idea, and thus my experiment! I've ordered a few chunks of vinyl in a few different colors. I'm gonna try and wrap the visible part of the wheel and see how it looks against the car. - Should be able to wrap all visible parts of the wheel (when trim ring and center cap are on) If I don't like it, it's pretty easy to remove, and if I find a color that works, I can get enough to do the rest of the wheels to match- and I can do it again next year if I wanted to just freshen them or switch colors.
Sooo, I'd guess the vinyl will be here sometime next week, so I'll post an update after I give it a shot. Wish me luck!! At worst, I'll have enough leftovers to do the front and rear bowtie that I want to do anyway, haha
