Does anyone have the Fin rims? I've seen some pictures of the other Fittipaldis, but I almost bought a set of these, and want to see a picture of what I missed out on just in case another set comes around :)

I have some. Not on the car yet, as I have not picked up th R compound tires to mount on them. I just got them back from the powder coater. In honor of the yellow rims on red Vipers, I had them done in red.

I am kidding of course. They are semi gloss black. I will post some pics if I get around to it.

Gah :nono:
You had me there for a second when you said they were going to be red. Bad Glen.

On another note, can't wait to see the black :burnout:

I am thinking about having the indented centers on each spoke painted yellow to match the car. The only reason I am hesitating is that it would **** any potential reselling of them should I decide to get rid of them.

Turn up the opacity on those yellow strips. That looks like nail polish.

The opacity is all the way up. I used the "colorize" option on that layer.

On another note, if you're going to complain about it, do it yourself.

Yeah, the thing is though.. it really doesn't match Glen's canary yellow SHO :p What I did was a general idea though... I think it would look nice ;)

That's what I was getting at :D Instead of "colorize," use a fill for your selection. Pick the right color and then fill; make sure everything you want selected has been selected. Crtl+backspace is the shortcut for foreground (I think) color fill.

Thanks for the effort Jon. I have decided against the yellow "highlights". Partially for the reason above, but also because I can find better ways to blow money than a useless cosmetic mod.
