davey_83 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Been contemplating a colour change for my wheels but also really like the hyper silver finish. Had some surplus headlamp tint so thought what's the worst that could happen. Have no idea about longevity, however was keen not wrap over an edge and used heat to help seal the edges. Began to create a template using detailers masking tape and transfering this to card. Being translucent it took on the hyper silver gloss and shade shifting appearance, I can't even begin to describe the colour. Spokes did, but hhmmm looks unfinished. Proceeded to do the centre and found one of the kids snack bowl to be the perfect size Getting there but the inner rim seemed easy enough, so made a template for these too. My skill level wouldn't stretch to do the rest of the visible spokes sadly. New custom centre caps as these were blank previously. And the finished result half expecting bits to fly off the first time I take to the motorway. Edited August 15, 2019 by davey_83 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Great job Davey, really like that. Slightly different but I had our resident wrapper - Zippy wrap my Nismo rims when I had them to match my wrap. Shameless plug and thread hijack but they are for sale if anyone is interested in them.
