well, i say it will be more noticable than you think, considering the wheel will be a dull flat black and the glossy pin stripe could be approximately 1/2" or 3/4". just ask if someone would ps that, you might like, never know.

you might be right...

any takers on chopping it?  I have that super-high resolution pic I can post if it helps.

But the stripe would have to be on the very edge of the rim... the wheels have an inner lip, so just outlining the lip wouldn't work.

Also, anyone have any other ideas for wheel colors (that would actually look good) for a black car?

Huh?  The only blue on the outside of my car is the stock winsheild tint band and the front calipers (and I'm painting the calipers flat black soon).  And silver wheels are overrated

here's the link... can you do a blue pinstripe out the outside edge of the wheel by the tire?  Thanks in advance 

*edit: sorry, apparently photobucket automatically resizes pics to 1024x768 if they're bigger... it was 3264x2448
