I want to put black stripes on the inside of my wheels, and I was wondering what the best way to do it was?
Should I tape it off and use a spray can, or should I paint it with a brush? How wide are the rim tape strips?
The space I want to cover is probably like 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, so that's that. Any thoughts? Thanks for your help guys.

rim stripes arnt anything near that are they? they are like a cm across or something?

itll probs be best to tape the area you dont want to spray and do it that way.... but see what other people say aswell

Pretty sure there is a mob on ebay that sells any thickness rim stripes. Spraying in an area like that would be nasty I reckon.

I'm assuming you don't black rims like the rest of us!!

i would cover the area and do the brush thing

I'd tape em off and hit 'em with a spray can...

Do not get the pre-curved crap of ebay, I got some and the vinyl is so thin is breaks off easily and stretches when you try to apply it. I went to wal-mart and got some 3m reflective tape and cut my own..3m vinyl is seriously better even when its not pre-curved...

I have the rim tapes from Scratchon.com

I have the red ones and it works very nicely. They give you extras too. I won them on a seperate forum site so I didn't buy them directly from scratchon, but the ones I won are from scratch on.

It comes in blue, gold, silver, red, green, black, white, and yellow too~

That 3M tape sounds like my best bet. Does anybody know if they have like a black reflective tape? I know I saw some whole-bike type applications somewhere a while ago. Anyway, I'm prob gonna hit up Wal Mart after my first shift tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

if you decide on paint, use spray and do a good prep job,

if it were me, i would take it to a vinyl sign shop and make them do it, then its guarenteed to come out good and be what you want or you can make em do it again for free!
