Nothing I would I do personally. By the looks of the pic it looks like you only covered the top and not the sides of the lugs but if you got the whole thing it'd be pretty cool. Though of course when you torque it it'll probably rip it right off lol.

Again not my cup of tea but it is unique at least. I could see this on maybe Robs car

for creativity.
You should do the center caps as well.

Though like someone mentioned, don't think it will last too long.

not my taste, but aside from that, i think your brakes need some attention judging by the rotors
