My bro is now using my ruff wheels he is thinking of blacking them out and adding the red pinstripe (like the wheels I posted in r1ver_rat's wheel thread)

here is his car... it looks more like a "cruising" type of car

I bought some cheap wheel tape on Ebay awhile ago to see how it would look on my black SS 10 spokes.

Heres a pic of a wheel I did. It looks ok on the 10 spokes, but it would look better if they were some c6 z06 wheels

The LT's + retune will cost me about $200-$300 more than cam + retune but it will sound much nicer
