Default Stickers on wheels

following on from my other post about my wheels (which no-one likes! ) Could you please suggest some sticker sets i can stick on my wheels? I was thinking the ford motorsport ones, or maybe the compomotive ones, but i dont really like them. If anyones got any pics could you PLEASE post them up. If anyones got some good res logos, could ya stick them up too.

Also, if anyone is good at photoshop, could you please do me some piccies of my wheels with stickers on.

My wheels.....






Some ideas.....



any other suggestions would be cool.

Cheers
Mike

i think if you had the lip of those wheels mirror polished or diamond cut and the rest sprayed anthracite (sp) that would look pretty cool. Just a suggestion.

I've NO idea what the fonts were and got bored searching through but IMO it wouldn't look half bad with them on

The Compomotive stickers look shite on the small wheel, dunno if they would look better on the large wheels.

I think with the middles anthracite it looks like you've got some shoddy hubcaps or dinnerplates stuck in the centres of your wheels. They look better plain than with the centres done imo. A lighter grey might look better but anthracite ruins them.

if you have them diamond cut (the rim that is) there will be no need to polish all the time.
