you can supply patterns and let folks take them to a sign shop so they can cut em outa vinly....
the is a great mod......but a vendor will get corvette tax...
a good sign shop could make them quick and even add a accent outline in red......
they make the wheels look very nice. that would be killer on chrome wagons.
You have a product,, get it patend on it....
I got some stripes a while back and they used the edge of a roll and the stuff had a patteren embossed in it,, could not use it.. cheap bastages anyway....
Why dnt you post a full size pattern and let us whip out our own??
or make us send a donation to st. judes for using the pattern...

Great Idea !!! Makes a tired old wagon wheel look 
.
I did a quick internet search and found these guys in Cleveland as a potential source for your peel n stick vinyl sheets.
If you mass produce these babies....I'd buy a set.

Without question - one of the best and most creative ideas I have even seen.
I had to do a doubletake when I first looked at them and it was certainly not obvious how/what you had done to them until I read how/what you did.
Outstanding idea.......VERY impressed -- Survey says --- perfect 10! - Final answer

I bought a set of '99 painted wagon wheels to run my snow tires on. I hate them. This would be a great (relatively inexpensive) mod that would definitely make me happier.
Please, please, please - find a permanent solution for this and you'd make me very happy. Put me down for a set.

This idea is so good...I went out to a sign store today, got a piece of 3M black vinyl/adhesive and will try to do the same. The guy gave me a 15" x 24" piece for $5....enough for @ 4 cars if I lay it out correct.
It was still to cold for the vinyl to stick on the wheels...so can't give a pic, or a y/n yet. Hardest part was trying to cut a curved end on the vinyl... old eyes/etc.
