Interesting. Maybe smaller and thinner to match the flags on the center cap?

Not a decal I would put on my wheels, but if you think it looks good, that's the only important opinion.

Not sure I dig it either, I don't really like stickers , etc on a car, I like a stock look best , but hey they were free and remove in just a minute

I hear that buddy Nothing wrong with pondering some creativity Those wheels look to be pretty mint from what I can see! It's always nice to see a sharp clean set like that!

Not my taste but it's what you like. Maybe put it on your rear window?

Maybe it would look better if it wasn't upside down...

not really my style but doesn't necessarily look bad either... it reminds of some of the higher end forged import wheels... have you considered making it a little smaller and putting it between the larger gap between the spokes rather than right on the spoke... it might be a little harder to do there because of the curve of the wheel, but hey I am no decal expert

I put reflective red Nitto outline on my black powder coated wheels and think it looks pretty good on my magnetic red 2000.

Better than writing "Corvette" across the top of the windshield like you might see at a used car lot!

Might look better in a dark gray than black?

Those are nice. They are very similar to the decals found on the Ferrari 355 Speedline competition wheels. Yes, Speedline made/makes Ferrari wheels.

It pays to advertise but why would you want that on a nice car? Kinda like having a dealer name tattooed on the back bumper. Not for me.

If it is what you like, your car your decision.

You left off the 'rice' option for opinions.

It doesn't look too bad, but for me, it's kind of like designer jeans. Who wants some overpaid designer's name embroidered all over their ***? Now, if they were supplying free samples or paying me to advertise, that might be different!

You would have to have a much better looking a$$ for someone to pay you...
Now put those designer jeans on her ( remember she is someone's daughter ) and that would be a different story.

I figured with all the lowered cars, Jake skulls everywhere, color matching engine bays, etc on here that rice was welcome
