I powder coated my stock rim black and then put 1 thin red pin stripe on it. Heres a close up.



I hope this helps with what you are looking for.

It really depends on the color of the car. We did it also to a friend of mine on his yellow zo6, and it did not look as good as it does on black. What color is your vert?

again, wanttospeed, I love that on your vette!!!

knight1975 - if you have a black vette, you should do this too. It makes the care look really angry (as you said) Good luck with the mod.

I went to the local autoparts store, bought red pinstripes (the one with two red stripes). I put on the thin stripe first, the took it off, then install the biggger stripe to see which one I like better. The one in the pictures is the bigger of the two. The thinner one I think is even more stealth. Its harder to see it from a distance and at night, itsa really hard to see it. I thought about trying it in reflective red, but haven't got around to doing it yet.
When you place the pin stripe on the rim, you can get it closer to the lip, this effect will hide the stripe on some angles.

00 ROSTER, thanks again.
