LOL. In regards to the red stripe idea... I've seen it before and some cars can pull it off, but it didn't seem to fit John's ride IMO.

After relooking at the pictures, I am now stuck between this "Argentino" or the light silver in gloss for my wheels... I'll have to see them in person to decide.

I think the "argento" name is to make you think it is a dark "argent" silver. If this helps.

I am shopping around with 3500 different factories in 5 countries looking for the cheapest cost per unit. However, it loooks like the best way is to make em here in the USA. Working on costs now. Maybe a group buy.

They are cut by Kurt307 on his home made CNC plasma cutter table.
Then, I sandblasted, washed and powdercoated them. The edges came out great!

And as such,since they have to be cut out of a sheet, and shipped here in bulk, then shipped out from here one at a time, it would be best to have a few to cut.
