If you would, please.

I haven't had much luck finding what I need on the Internet. A matte black vinyl with the ability to "peel and stick" is what I need. If I can find the proper material, I may have a die made and offer them for sale.

Those look great. Some of the vendors at one time sold some small black vinyl decals (maybe they still do) that went on the wheels but I didn't really care for them. Your design however looks awesome, and totally changes the look of the wheels. Nice job!

That looks so much better than the stock wagon wheel that it's not even funny. Well done!

Those babies would great in chrome and the black was cut out of the spoke! I like the look you gave the wheel!

I have been trying to decide what to do with my wagon wheels and I think you just solved that problem. I have alraedy painted the emblem in the cap. Thanks for the idea.
