Default Super cool new custom touch for wheels...

Shaun Dove (TwinSting) over at EVOD showed me a new deal he is doing. In short he has a way to cast emblems now. So he took my Bad Penny logo, scanned it, made it 3Dish and then made centercaps for my wheels.

He said he ca do this with any logo or car name and the cost for the entire set of custom one-off center caps is only about $250. Considering the billet Forgeline caps run $200 that's a hell of deal.

He can color them many ways, these he used a dye to give the patina copper look.

He can also do one off emblems as well (like if you had a car name or something) for under a hundred bucks.

Just thought I would share

His site is www.evodindustries.com I think.

Man, they make some nice wheels too! I like their Bandits, but boy would I like to see someone make a set of billet Trans Am Turbo Wheels!

Cool emblems on your wheels! Nice touch!

That has to be one of the coolest single accesories I've seen in a long time. Extremely cool. Can we get a broader shot of the wheels and the car?
