   i know this may sound stupid and will most probably look naff but what are people thaughts on carbon vinyl wrapped alloys, for example a set of deep dish alloys and do the actual dish bit in carbon vinyl but then leave the spokes ... also could a photo shopper try and create something like this just to see what id would look like

   It looks good if you do it right. There were a set of vtr alloys on eBay a while back which looked good. Get a pic up of the wheels your thinking someone might chop if for tou

   A friend ran a vinyl wraping company.
   
   You cant/shouldnt wrap wheels. The heat causes issues with the glue.

   there is a company in york that will dip your wheels in a carbon film and clear coat them looks amazing but at 50 a wheel isn't cheap.
