Rim Tape

[McGuire86]

Im refurbing my alloys gloss black and I want to add some rim tape to them.
Does anyone know any websites where I can get hold of this ?
Cheers

ebay or halfords sell it i think

[gaz4399]

any local bike shop would be a good call, chances are that they would sell it

[blake1312]

cant see why not aslong as you get the right one for your size rim aka 15"

sounds good, just check you have enough room on your rims for the 10mm tape. its also worth noting that the narrower the tape the easier it is to bend around the wheel and less likely to crease as bike wheels on the whole have a larger diameter than car wheels

[gaz4399]

try get the stuff in a roll as you will be able to make it fit car wheels perfectly

[McGuire86]

ok so what about this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-mm-Wheel-Rim-Stickers-tape-stripe-decal-trim_W0QQitemZ130322537037QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Ca rsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e57d41a4d&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
same stuff just 6mm, so youre saying a 6mm one would fit/look better ?

[gaz4399]

6mm would be easier to bend if you got in in a roll form. its all a matter of personal opinion, if you have enough room on your rim then go for 10mm if thats what you prefer

[McGuire86]

Would prefer a 10mm tbh.
Im not sure how these work, do they come joined as a cirle so its one fit? Or do you stick it round and cut it to fit ?
Btw they are going on VTR alloys
Cheers

[gaz4399]

it will just be like a roll like regular tape. you would apply it to the rim and sut it off when you have gone all the way round

[McGuire86]

ahh ok cool, so it would fit onto the vtr alloys fine?
also do they go onto the alloy lip? or onto the tyre ?

[gaz4399]

yes it will

you put in onto the wheel yes

[McGuire86]

ideal will order some later!
thanks for your help mate and fast replies
cheers (Y)

thats the colour i want! looks really nice mate, you got them on the actual rim, can they go on the tyre ?

[oojamaboo]

They are on the rim mate, they wouldn't stick to the tyre I don't think, would look way better on the rim in my opinion

[McGuire86]

yeah youre right, do you have a ebay link for that tape ?

[col101]

Does not come on a roll. It comes as lots of slightly curved pieces.

The stuff on rolls is pin-stripe and is the same suff, but alot harder to put on as it's not curved.

i put some on my dads blade and it was on a roll, it does exist but hard to find a believe

[3cott]

Ebay or moterbike shop...

[15gazza]

Motrax do rim tape which is on a roll, it also comes with an applicator, but doesn't work with vtr alloys as they have a lip.
You better of with the 7mm stuff (what I used) as 10mm may be to large...
You get enough in one roll to do 4 wheels with enough left over for any mistakes, my wheels are in my sig.

[McGuire86]

cool thanks for the replies, im getting this stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Motorbike-Wheel-Rim-Stripe-Tape-Reflective-BLUE-Vinyl_W0QQitemZ350125706297QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_M otorcycle_Parts?hash=item51851e4c39&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

[gaz4399]

thats the stuff mate

[15gazza]

Yeh, biketecs range is very good quality, and fairly cheap, the vinyl shouldn't fade for quite a whille, and it's easy enough to fit on...

[oojamaboo]

I've provided a link to the roll that I got on my progress thread, wasn't hard to find although relatively difficult to apply

[McGuire86]

yeah ive ordered it cheers
