I thought i would show you howto change the color of the stitching
I used a bright red pen, when its got a shadow on it, it looks maroon, when the sun is shining it looks bright red.

Colors that would work great:

Red.
Yellow.
Black.
Light blue.
Bright green.

Patience.

So i didn't like the grey/silver color that the center caps are so i decided to wrap them. Any color is possible but i went for a subtle black.
