Here are a few shots of the process, including the Minilites with their beautiful painted finish as shipped and then after customization by the wheel shop. I thought it would be fun to leave the centers raw (under clear) to showcase the casting a bit. Turned out pretty good. I used Gyeon Rim ceramic coating on the wheels to minimize brake dust and make future cleaning of the clearcoat easy. One photo shows a printout of the Goodyear letters to check sizing and letter position before cutting the stencil.

Little tape spacers on the back of the stencil are to space the letters off of the rubber surface, after lots of trail and error to see low spots on each letter shape. Also included are a few shots of the inspiration behind the look, from Laguna Seca a few years ago

----Wheels came out great. Love 'em! I'm curious as to what the two studs across from each other on all 4 wheels are for. I see it on some of the racers, but not all.....Bill S
