Time attacked my wheels with red after all!
I know most of you didn't want it but what the heck
. I wanted to try it and what can I say... I like it a lot! 
I was after a little change like most of you must know very well (my annoying wheel polls lol). Or like Frank5er expressed it, I had a MOD itch again.
So I ordered up couple rolls of wheel stripe and installed it last night, with the help of my flat headed mate of course
.
I like the contrast it makes, as the all black theme started to feel a bit dull to me. Time attacks are seen here VERY rarely, so I'm not even with the flow...
I let them be like this for now. Besides there's not plenty of time left before I have to change my winter setup on.
Here are some pics:

WOW, I absolutely LOVE IT!! Car looks so awesome with that, very agressive How did you do it?
Car looks so awesome with that, very agressive How did you do it?I ordered a wheel stripe tape from a motorbike webshop. When it arrived I washed the wheels with a dish washing detergent and then wiped the edges with a microfiber cloth dampened with acetone. Then I just put the stripes on. They are specially meant to put on wheels (bikes).

The good thing about it is when you get bored you can always remove it again....I would do this but not spray painted. I might do grey.
