Red stripe on 70th wheel
Hey all,
so had to order the 70th anniversary wheels as the gloss black were on constraint, don't mind the color but was wondering how easy it was to remove the red stripe or would I be better off painting that edge of wheel midnight grey to match the wheels? Have a red mist coming and the red stripe will clash with the calipers and the vehicle color.
any advice would be appreciated!!

Might be able to get a powder coater sand blast the wheels down, then get coated in Gloss Black (or whatever color you want). I've not seen the wheels in person, but I'm guessing the red stripe is paint.
