Default UK Vinyl Graphic Supplier

Just running over possible stuff to do to my new toy - completely unsure of the direction this little project is going to take. It could be complete retransformation to a pretty standard C2, or I might go with the more hard-core look that the car currently has.

Does anyone know of a source in the UK that could produce some custom red vinyl graphics in the form of a circle to apply to each wheel rim, to give an effect like this on black wheels?

Edit: But less wobbly.

Thanks for the suggestion - just called Bob's recommendation though, so I'll see how that pans out.

I've used Highgate House in the past and I'm happy with the results. Here's their Porsche site: http://www.highgatehouse.co.uk/Porsche.htm

BTW, I just checked their website and it looks like it's under construction. They used to have a bunch of Carrera side decals, etc. If that's what you're looking for shoot them an email. I found their prices very competitive, even after postage to the US.

Ah yes, I think it's Highgate House that was lurking somewhere in the back of my mind.

Instead of vinyl what about an automotive pinstripper painting the red onto the wheel?

Yes, but I'm so undecided, I fancied something removeable.

Dean at the place Bob suggested just got back to me: £35 plus VAT for the four - sounds good.

John - another vote for Rick at Highgate...he did all the graphics for the Total 911 project car, which is probably why the name rings a bell.

I think what you are looking for is called rim tape or rim stripes. They are sold in a multitude of colors and widths. Available at any motorbike store for about for ~£10.

IIRC the big UK supplier is Demon Tweeks
