Anyone looking to do something to their rims that is inexpensive and not very time consuming, here's a website that sells rim stripes.

Cewl. I tried to do that myself with straight pinstriping and got very frustrated very quickly. I opted for these (which are available from a store on ebay - just search for rim decals):

What I like about these rim decals is that they're cut in a circular shape to fit 17-inch rims.

Red would be cool on the black B12S wheels. Is this what's on those black R1s wheels I see? Or is theirs "real"?

Did you do this? Got a pic?

I bought them a couple of weeks ago, but I'm waiting for warmer weather so that I can wash the rims before putting them on. I'm not sure about the R1 pic, but it does look too "perfect" to be decals. I have a blue/white '05, so I bought the dark blue decals. If I ever figure out how to post pics, I'll put one here.

Love to see it.

As far as posting pics goes, if you upload them to something like PhotoBucket.com, then all you have to do is click the IMG button, put in the pictures address, then click the IMG button again. If you ever need more help doing it, PM me. I've explained it to several people in the past on different boards.

Alright, let's see if I can make this work

Be safe and cover your plate number!

I got them off ebay. I'm assuming they're still there. They're curved as well, I just didn't do a great job of matching the curve of the wheel. It's harder then it looks.

LOL! That's the front, too! (after a track day) The back is about the same, tho. Not to hijack but... the profile of the M1s doesn't seem to lead itself to chix strip removal. I was down to nearly zero strip on my last two rear tires.
