Yah, I saw one in the JCW catalog in the past, it held paint in the handle and had a little roller on it that left a stripe as you rolled it around. I don't see it on their website, I just looked.

Not sure if anyone can chime in on this about using just regular pin stripe roll tape? I remember when you could buy those white wagon wheels back in the day and they had the blue and red stripe on them. I haven't shopped around for wheels in years so I am not really sure whats going on these days.

Those factory wagon wheels are uncommon these days. Eastwood might sell those pinstripe roller kits, I know I've seen them somewhere recently.

I also have a set of these wheels on my truck, this weekend im borrowing a sand blaster to kick off and smooth out the surface for a nice clean layer. Mine are the older version of these. Where the center meets the rim ring, mines flat(not rounded). And also where the lugnuts are(is also flat).

Got a pic? Sounds like you have a set of old Jackman's.

best picture i already have. :boti:

Not Jackman's, but very similar. Jackman's look the same, but the spokes are separate all the way to the rim and the weld is visible. Rather than triangles punched into the center.
