   Ive just bought sum vtr gloss black alloys and blue rim tape would look mint,,im looking into doing that with mine. I think it would stand out more on black or like a dark grey,,depends on weather your colour coding anything else.

   I think it would look nice on the glossy black perosnally as thats what im doing,,but tbf the blue would stand out nice on the white,,i dont think youd really see it on the dark graphite grey imo. you gna have the body kit in posi blue too,,or a diff colour?
