Default Where to get dub-style badging in rhinestone?

I'm looking for some place to get some specialty automotive badging for one of our cars... Something similar to the 'Dub' wheel size stickers but I've seen them in rhinestone type material? Realy sparkly and shiny.

Do you want it like custom made or something? Or have you seen it before?

I've seen it before on the back of a car but not specifically for the wheel size emblem (which is what I want it for). It's going on my wife's M3 track car. I'm guessing they sell 'em somewhere but not having luck tonight googling.

Found some on ebay but they only go down to 20"... we need 'em in 17"

Yeah, we want the bling. Found one place that sells individual letters but it'll run pretty pricey for a gag

What you could do is buy some rhinestones separate then super glue them on to that 17" logo...Not sure if that's what you're looking to do though.

Lol, yeah - although I suspect they'd stay on better at the track if I did them myself with superglue

I thought DUBs are 20" or bigger.

By definition yes, but they sell stickers down to 17".

go to michaels or tall mouse and buy a bag of rhinstone and hot glue it...a lot cheaper if it is for a gag

That "space tape" reflective type sticker stuff still around? That would be simple to cut and apply.
