Anything that has to do with wheels and tires goes here. Will a wheel fit? Ask it here. Will a tire fit your wheel? Ask it here.

at least you could change the color or remove it often!

I always liked the trim color if your rims are black and you have a red car
Don't know if they'll hold up though

I like it. I spray painted mine on when I had it. Now my stockers are flat black. Are those reflective stickers/tape?? That'd be hella koo.

I think it's just photoshop to make it easy for them to change colors for their auctions. I do rather like that shade of blue, but I know if I ordered it (which I won't) it'd never end up looking like that.

I have a yellow pinstripe on my stock rims, been there all year and it's still holding up great.

oops, looks like the auction ended... if you actually click on one of the actual auctions, in the middle of the page it shows them installing the stripes... looks like they come in 4 pieces(for each wheel)

Just buy a roll of pinstriping tape, it's cheaper and it does the job just the same. The only difference is you have to cut it yourself once you've done the circumference of the wheel.

that's fine if yer good at doing the pull and stretch thing with the pinstripes to get that exact curve (which I can never do)

..but these things are pre-cut.. just stick 4 peices on each wheel... and did you see the price..?... you can probably get a set for about 4 or 5 bucks... that's including shipping!

even if you mess it up or don't like it or want to change it after a while... yer getting 16 pre-cut pieces for like 4 bucks
