Black insert/line on BBS highline wheels...

Post by milroy »

Has anyone managed to reinstate the black line recessed into the BBS TRX highline wheels? I've had mine powder coated and now wondering whats the best process, originally it looked like a thin rubber inserted into the bottom of the channel...

I'm pretty sure it's just paint!

Sounds good Ron! Do you have a link/know the brand & width of the tape you used?

Thanks for the heads up :D
