    So say if i had a white VTS wheel and i wanted a red lip, this is the stuff to get?
    
    How easy is it to apply?

    yep indeed it is, its very easy did all four of my vtr wheels in about 15mins just wipe them down first with a clean cloth and make sure the surface is clean for the best stick
    
    you could also get them painted but thats alot more money

    well it comes with a white backing that you peal off from the red stuff or whatever colour you are using then apply one end the lip then keep unraveling it as you go round and run your finger off the top to stick it down. Just use common sense realy and take your time oh and do it with the wheel off its so much easier

    I can imagine my attempt at this looking more like a hexagon than a circle.

    What is the best width to get?
    
    cause i dnt want the width to be too thin so you cant even see it.
