Anyone got a good link for some alloy wheel rim tape (black)?

Also, what width is best

Cheers

ohhhhh

Halfords mate............

i used there red rim tape on the CBR600 and it was great

2 secs, i'll find a pic for ya

Here you go, gives u an idea anyway

i bought mine from Ebay when i did the fiestas wheels pink...

i think this is who i bought it from

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNIVERSAL-CAR-...1e#ht_500wt_922

Thanks guys

Think I'll give it a go on the ealth machine - can always take it off if I don't like it

lol
nahhh I was ohhhh cool

all I can do when I see a title like "Rim Tape" is

At least it wasnt titled rim job

i read this post too quickly and thought it said 'rim rape'


?????????? HAHAHAHA

Ouch..........

Its self adhesive (sticker basically)

I used this around my fog surrounds but it fell off within an hour or so
maybe it sticks better to metal?

Make sure the wheels are properly clean and dry and you'll have no issues, its dirt cheap too, especially in Halfords

so do you have to take the tyre off then to apply it on

What??

No mate, it goes around the 'RIM' of the alloy........... Look at the pic of my CBR up there

so it doesnt fold over inwards then under the tyre?

IT STICKS AROUND THE RIM.................

It could not be any easier!!

dont have to remove the tire, just clean the surface



and here it is finished

"RIM TAPE APPLICATION FOR DUMMIES" by Rob & Dan

sat there for over an hour!

Sweet i thought it was spayed on, defo getting some when my wheels have been done

You could go that way i guess, more expensive and aggro tho

I asked the guy in Halfords where the Rim Tape was and he said they didn't stock it. He said I must have seen it online 'somewhere'. I explained that I'd seen it on the Halfords site and that I'd been advised they definitely sold it. He still insisted they didn't, explaining "if we did we'd have it as we're one of the larger stores". All this was spoken with an attitude. Proper

Some idiots work there.

Go back in there......... its in the Motorcycle section......... seen it in black, red & yellow etc

i had an argument with them about flat wipers!

they were so cocky and confident that you couldn't get them for the ST and they didn't sell them (they weren't with the other wipers)

i left it and then wandered round the shop a bit further and bugger me there they were on a shelf round the other side of the rack!

i took them to the till where the same bloke was standing... i said "look at these wipers that don't exist and you don't sell!"

i didn't buy them i walked out leaving them on the counter with him looking very red and speechless haha stupid little chav learn your job!

They don't deserve my custom after speaking to me like that - I came home and ordered some from the link Dan put up instead. Apart from that it's also around a 45 minute round trip to Halfords and back (Blackpool is bigger than people think )

Thanks for the info anyway though Rob

No worries

Either way u have got it sorted.........

If the weather is dry one night this week I'll have a go at it and stick some pics up. It does look a lot easier with the wheels off though

Just take your time doing it or it'll be all wonky

Nobody wants a wonky rim

Way off topic but this thread reminds me of a headline I saw on some technology website a while ago about the playbook tablet thing, here's a link - http://lifeissavage.com/sorry-what-was-that-about-7-inches-and-rim-jobs/

Don't worry it's safe to view if you're at work!

Good luck with your wheel art.

Random post Pazza..............

I wouldn't mind doing this to my ST but not sure I could justify putting "rim job" on my mods list.

but everyone loves a rim job stew

True true. How much would I pay at a garage for a rim job. Anybody got any idea?? Haha.

Wait, what's worse, doing your own rim job or paying for one??????

Always make sure the rim is clean first

I'd rather do my own rim job than get a MALE tech to do it for me

Solo Rimming is the way forward.............

No word of a lie, I was sorting through a drawer today and came across a long strip of red rim tape.

What are the chances, I was freaked out.

Now I just need to find a use for it.

I am thinking of doing this with white tape. Does it look as good on stock wheels? Anyone seen any piccies?

White on silver doesnt really show up tbh! If they were gunmetal or black then I'd say definitely

I have black on my anthracite wheels (well, the front two so far anyway)

Will try and get a pic up over the weekend...

Have you still not finished doing that tape Lee?? Haha....

Ha, no I've been too busy with work and uni

To be honest, I'm happy enough running anthracite centre caps at the back and the black ones at the front - makes it a bit more unique. Will get round to it eventually though...

I love the look of black alloys with a silver lip(rim). So I would go with silver/chrome style tape on black wheels.
