Black IROC Wheels With Added Red Pinstripe

Well as everyone had made apparent the wheels would probably look better with a red stripe. So I tried it and am happy with the results.

Re: Black IROC Wheels With Added Red Pinstripe

Needs a polished lip. I dont think that would really make it look as good as stock though. It looks like a 15 inch wheel?

You've got a beautiful car, though.

Looks a Bazillion times better! IMHO, doesn't look like 4 junkyard steel spare wheels anymore.

Very well could be, but they also came in 16's. The red makes the black wheels much more appealing. Nice touch.

Re: Black IROC Wheels With Added Red Pinstripe

Thanks everyone. Yea Im liking the red stripe much more. I have polished lips on my Torq Thrusts. They are 16s and they definitely dont look like spares anymore. I used car paint from autozone and used a spray gun to paint them. Glad you all like it.
