Red mitsubishi logo on stock wheels?
I am new to this forum, and I want to make my lancer look better. I noticed many cars on here have red logo's on their stock rims. I think this adds class, but im clueless on how to do it. Do i take it off, and paint it or is there some i need to order. Everyone seems helpful on here so i thought i would ask my first question 
Thanks

there are both vinyls you can use to put over or what I did was I took them off and painted them. I surprisingly got a lot of compliments for the painted logo, so it is a good idea. i would personally take the piece off and tape it off, sand it, then spray paint it.

yeah they pop off from the back. you might have to take the rim off to be able to push it out from the back... as for paint, i don't know a specific brand but i'd say any engine or caliper paint would hold up good!
