    I'm running Level 8 ZX wheels, which I love, but I wasn't pleased with the stock center medallion. Here's the before:

    I searched all over, and couldn't really find a replacement that I liked with the right diameter. So I made my own from .025" aluminum sheet.

    Used a sticker with the right diameter to cut the circles

    Ordered some vinyl TRD stickers with the right dimensions, added a few coats of paint and a few coats of clear, and they turned out alright

    attached to the wheel with 3M double sided trim tape

    we will see how long they last out in the elements

    Looks great. I have Level 8 Trackers and was looking to do the same. How much would you charge me?

    I need to wait to see how they hold up before I would be comfortable making more for someone. I have a feeling that the stickers might not last, but I could be wrong.
