Default an easy rim mod for stockers

Im spending all my OT pay on ghost flames instead of rims. So I got to looking at my stock rims and thought of something easy enough to do, aprox $5.00 and one hour of my time. I got some 1/4 " chrome pin striping and put it in the recesses of the spokes. Cant tell you how long it will last but for $5 it doesnt matter. Right up close it looks "EH" but stand back 2-3 feet and its actually kinda nice. Gives a touch of chrome for a guy that cant afford it I put 100 miles on them today and they are still good. Anyways, thought I'd share with you all.

Very nice! Seems to be the missing link on the factory wheels.

yes, looks fine. I was planning on doing that in black to give it the appearance of dual spokes.

no offense and sorry to threadjack but why do you have AMG stickers on your calipers when you don't even have a srt-6??

I must admit that I was thinking of doing this in graphite or (possibly) saphire blue.... now that I have seen how the wheel actually looks with this mod I'm even more up for doing this
