    Default Redhot SSV with trackstripes & black rims

    Just put my SSV back together after getting rims powder coated and pin striped, painting brake calipers, spraying SS, V, and v8 badges black, and detailing custom exhaust and engine cover to match.

    Happy with the outcome.

    Here you go boys:

    Notice the matching exhaust, blacked out badges, brake calipers and engine detailing.

    Have also painted the lion on the centre caps black since these shots were taken... played around in photo shop and it finished it off nicely as I have got rid of the silver everywhere else it looked too stark on the wheels.

    Is it just me or is the red on the rims a little off? Not quite straight?

    Looks good though, i love the blacked out badges.

    The stripe is straight... just that it's on the lip of the rim, so if you don't look at it 100% straight on it looks crooked. If it is off slightly it's because the casting on the rim isn't perfect.
