I fitted some new rim strips just before the crap weather hit, I think they look pretty good, anyone any thoughts on the look, like or hate them!

Cheers.
 
Cheers mate, if you havn't bought them yet i used strips that came with a rollers applicator, it made life pretty easy. If you haven't fitted them before my advice would be to start applying the strip at the weight used to balance the wheel as it just got in the way of my applicator, but if you start and finish at that point it will minimise any deviation in the strip.
 
Looking sweet mate. The standard rims aren't the most bling are they? I found some lovely little brembo rim decals on ebay for not much money, you can choose your colour to match your tape and then I just cut the appropriate portion out the tape and slipped one of those bad boys in and it really set the wheels off.
 
Wahey, I like it :D.
My 250 has rim tape on, spoke to the current owner of my mille, we both agreed the mille could do with rim tape.
It'll be the first thing I do to her. Red or yellow, can't decide, though I'm leaning towards yellow :).
 
i thought about making some of those,but not got round to it yet...
 
I did the same to mine but still not sure about them.
I might paint the wheels orange like the bellypan bit instead?!?

Click to expand...

If you decide to go for the orange wheels post some pics, I have the same colour as yours and its lacking a bit of bling :thumbup
 
Very nice.. but I think the tail sticker could do with some orange. Its to white
 
Gregorious, I think the rim tape would look better than doing the whole wheel orange... Just my thoughts
 
if I had a vector file of the tape I could make them in any colour :(
