Looks nice - very fitting with the rest of the car (van) - must of taken ages to mask up, or is it pre-cut vinyl?

Jules, i bought some white Viper stripes from Halfrauds (felt like a right chav! lmao!) Then spent ages cutting them out into 1" squares.
I'm thinking about leaving the vinyl squares there, then spraying up the black squares pearl white to match the body, then peal off the vinyl to reveal clack squares?...

The chequer effect makes the wheels look so much wider.
Did you have to use spacers on the front to fit the wheels as im looking at getting some banded steels for mine.

Judging by the latest pic, i'd take a guess at no.
Wheels look really good mate.
