So....
I found the right size stickers that are convex enough for my Rondell center caps on my wheels. The Rondell caps were ok, but I wanted to see how it would look if I changed them to "BMW" caps.
The process was easy. At first I popped the "r" out of the center caps, then wiped the cap with acetone and put the sticker on... Voil?!
Oh, I changed the "time attack" stripe from silver to red yesterday. I didn't like the grayish one at all.
Rondell wheel cap:
The front wheel afters:
The rears:
Concavity, anyone
?
Merry Xmas and s*it! Yo!

Very nice Antti, I like the BMW being in the center cap - kind of makes the wheels look more "normal"

Where'd you get those stickers? You should get some black and red ones. They will match your wheels better.

It does make it seem like an OEM Time Attack wheel!!
