    im still testing them see how they gonna hold up
    it took quite a bit of measurements and cutting card stock for testing and evaluating so without having a sport wheel laying around it will be hard for me to do that.

    They held up quite nicely with the pressure washer and brush, I think they are exactly how I wanted them to come out! Installing them was a pain in the ass since the vinyl stretch and moved around while installing but here is the pics below

    Glad to see they held up to the pressure washer and brush, that 651 is pretty tough stuff.

    I WANT! :goingcrazy::goingcrazy::goingcrazy:

    Side note: I wonder what it would cost to powdercoat them? I really like how it accents the wheel!

    So it took me a day to get these up but I was lucky enough to meet up with SXE4533 and he hooked me up with some wheel vinyls and tailgate letters. The letters went on without any problems! the wheels were a royal pain in the ass! After a bit of struggling I decided to cut each vinyl into two parts and it made installing them much easier. Major props on the hook up SXE4533 !

    :boink:You guys as such teasers, or whatever you'd call it! Using a buddy system :drunk: to get those cool vinyls... :facepalm:

    Oh well, hope @sxe4533 will decide to sell them sooner or later:fingerscrossed:

    Yeah, I bet it's a pita, I'm guessing mostly because it's machined and not a completely smooth surface. I wouldn't mind trying myself if OP changes his mind :boink:

    I'd definitely buy a set. I have exact same setup as yours but I used plastidip and a red trd emblem from ebay. But the plastidip doesn't look nearly as good as vinyl imo.

    Let me know if you decide to sell.

    I just did this on my wheels, and thought a few pics might help out anyone wanting to do it....1.jpg
    Vinyl after coming out of Cricut and removing excess vinyl, then applying "transfer tape"
