Colour strips on tyre rubbers

[welshy23]

Ive seen it done before and how do you put the colour on the tyre rubber? so its likes a thin strip going around to what colour theme your car is?... is it easy?

They used the same vinyl on my roof, and apparently it shoudl last upto 7 years. I also spoke to a lad with a Civic Type R and he ahd the same tape and he accidently kerbed his car and the tape prevented any damage to his alloys:y:
