Not sure what you are asking about. What "stripes"? Do you mean the polished lip?

Ok my bad. I should have explained better. Look at the rims. There is a red stripe added. Maybe a little hard to see. I think it adds a nice touch.
Heres a pic of the rim.

That looks good. Didn't show up in the original post on either of my monitors.

That's the "attention to detail" that sets one good looking car apart from another.

I think that looks good, but I had no idea what you were talking about until you posted the picture of the wheel itself. A bigger pic would be needed of the whole car for it to show up.

Thumbs up

I never would of noticed the stripe without the close-up. Now that I can see it, it looks nice!

IMO, it would better if the rest of the lip was black, or if the stripe was 2x thicker.

Yeah. I have no idea what I was doing. Just posting in a hurry I guess. Next time i'll try to explain better.
Ok heres another pic of the car. Other side.
I think I read its a 1/8th size stripe.

I saw this on another forum too, and I think it looks pretty good! I would only do that with certain colors, and with that red it looks good.

Wonder how these rims would look on a red car.
True for a bmw. But might work for a camaro.Or trans
