Presenting........My new Wagon Wheels!

A few quick tips on installation for anyone who is getting these:

(1) It helps if you have some fingernails! The toughest part of the whole job was getting the decals off the paper backing!

(2) You can't use TOO much wetting agent. A lot is good, more is better!

I think they look

. The only question I have at this point is how they will hold up to heat, washing, etc. Time will tell

I want to see some close up shots too. Where did you get them? How much?

Also, I hope someone who did this to their Chrome wagon wheels will post pictures too.

I really like the look, but haven't seen them applied to chromies yet.
