Default HELP: want to do a chrome lip on black rims

i bought 8mm chrome mettalic vinyls that are for 17 inch motorcycle rims. i plan on using them to do a chrome lip on my zr1s im gong to be painting black.

Did gold on my old black 10 spokes. Wanted it to be closer to pewter but still liked them. The decals I bought were pre-cut into quarter sections of the circle. They were a little longer though so you could overlap them making it easier to line the circle up. Its pretty hard not to line it up in a circle, just throw one down against the outside of the lip and start adding the others around the rim.
