   depend where your putting it 7mm should be ok if it going on the flat of the wheel if you want it right on the lip it you will need 15mm as i just done mine the other day. also order it from a sign writers as you might be cheaper than from fle bay.

   Well i saw it advertised in a motorbike magazine,,but i got mine my bikers world in worcester,,ive heard people on here saying that theyve bought rim tape of ebay and apaz its alright,mine was £8.99 with an applicator so its level all around the rim. KI think whe i looked on ebay it was £6 or summit like that.

   no what im saying is if you put it round the outer lip of the alloy then 7mm wont be wide enough to cover the hole lip. if you put it on the inside of the lip on the flat of the alloy 7mm will be fine.
