Maybe it's not new, but I haven't seen it before.
I love the look of RSR Fuchs. But I can only afford Cookie Cutters right now. So I'm trying to make the best of it, and give the cookie cutters the best chance they will have at looking the part. It's a fun little project. Please let me know what you think. Please note, these are just rough mock-ups at this stage, just to test the concept. If they look good, I will clean them up and paint them nicely. For now, they were just wiped down with a rag, masked, and sprayed. So please don't fret about poor masking, paint imperfections, or the minor curb rash. Here's the first one: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.4.jpg) Yes, my 4 year old and I were doing arts and crafts together. I thought the wheel turned out pretty nice! But it wasn't quite what I was looking for. On this one, I painted the entire lip silver. But I understand that RSR wheels had the outside edge polished. So I decided to try that next: |

Ugh. I thought they looked interesting when I first saw those, but do you notice how the cut out part looks like those old stick-on flowers that wannabe hippies used to stick on their Volkswagens? Once I noticed that it turned into the only thing I can see when I look at them. Ugh.

Once I noticed that it turned into the only thing I can see when I look at them. Ugh. Those are awesome!! What a clever idea. But I agree, they're not as good a design as the original wheel. That shape stands out too much, and it does sort of resemble a hippy flower! That being said, if you twist my arm I would trade them for my Cookie Cutters. haha |
