| You'll have a hard time finding any tape that will stick well to the vinyl portion of the wheel. Probably best to leave it alone or replace with a wheel design you like. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| OK here's comes crazy. Use a Sharpie, now hear me out.
Sharpie on human skin lasts six days. I do believe Lysol disolves sharpie, expirement first of course. I was thinking of that too but with me using the silver paint pen again.
That symbol reminds me of the Maserati logo so embelishing it is ok by me.
Consider gold paint pen, that would give you a contrasing color while also being subtle.

| I remember back in middle school when I asked for black high-tops, but got white ones instead. I used a Sharpie to color both shoes entirely black. Looked good (to me) for about a week, afterwhich I'd wished I hadn't done it. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30
