He told me he could do the black gloss paint for $165 each wheel (Which I thought was a bit expensive!?) but said I should try and get custom blue stickers or something like that made up to fit on the rims.
He also said if we do the rims black i should blacken the door handles too... Which is true I guess but I read somewhere on here that they are a real bitch to get off?! Dont really want a rim specialist messing with my doors :S

anyway... interesting concept... 'stickers' on the rims...
Iv never seen it done myself?
Any recommendations?
