    I quite like it, just looks a little thick, but i suppose you'd have to have it that thick to actually cover the rim lip?

    Yay, but thinner, just the lip around the inside by spokes, less likely to get curbed and ripper.

    I have just measured that up and its only 3mm wide.... plus i would then have to get it on a role as the precut ones would obviously not be the right angle etc etc plus i dont kurb my alloys

    Infact i think im actually going to give this a miss....
    
    Going to save up some pennys to get the "Team Dynamics Motorsport" filled in with green instead.
    
    Think its going to look better then a green line all the way round.
    
    Thanks for your comments anyways guys

    #32 22nd January 2009, 17:03

    aye it does look good, but im going to have the get the tape REALLY wide to cover up the writing on the wheels, plus with the writing being sunk down into the alloy lip, the actual sticker is going to have no where to stick when it goes over it
    
    will probs peel off.
    
    Will look better just gettin the writing colourd in...
