Apart from color-matched wheel finishes, extended lips, and Step Forged wheel centers, how do you create that truly unique look for a set of custom wheels? Well, some manufacturers offer the option of customizing the wheel lip with decals. Asanti, for example, offers either custom painted, or custom engraved decals on their wheel lips. You can use their logo, or choose your own. Other manufacturers offer similar variations of lip customization - all at an additional cost to the standard wheel price.

If  none of these works for you, there are still other non-OEM options for customizing your wheel lips. One is to have the lip airbrushed by a professional artist, but the most economical method is to have your favorite graphic designs applied by precisely cut custom vinyl. Outside of the dynamic color range offered by airbrushing, multiple colors and intricate design variations are possible with vinyl. The durability of this option does vary with the intricacy of the design - as more complex designs tend to be more delicate. An extra form of protection is the application of a layer of clear coat over the vinyl.

Available to all custom wheels sold by LUXWOD u.s., is the non-OEM option to add custom vinyl graphics to the wheel lips. Standard pricing starts at $55 per wheel for a single vinyl color, while for more complex multiple color designs, contact us with your design idea for a quotation.
