Ralfi, I did this to my wheels a couple of years back, its just self-adhesive vinyl from a sign maker that I stuck on. Its lasted well and easily removeable.

I got T1Rs to replace Dunlop SportsMaxx on my Polo GTI, Big regret! Sticky in a straight line, but real sloppy around corners and wear very fast. Increased the pressure (41 psi) to support the...

Bright yellow beetle...how embarrassing when I arrived at work and everyone outside saw me, took several days for them to stop laughing. Horrible car, slow, auto, tinny.
