I feel they look much better when painted. I painted them to match the house as colored wagon wheel PLANTERS make the flowers look better!

I have the wheels, just needed some input as to what to do with them. The vinyl stickers are the idea I had in mind, maybe a little different, to break up the wide spoke. Thanks, for all the responses.. When I get them painted I'll post up...

Looks good on paint or chrome. Highest quality vinyl decals create the illusion of a split spoke. Looks good up close as the vinyl is so thin, 2 mil, they appear to be painted. They are matte black which further promotes the illusion.

A non-destructive mod which gives you the most "bang for your buck."

The problem with wagon wheels is some people just don't like a strong, sturdy, light weight wheel that doesn't look like bling or crack like thin spokes.....
