   Hi.
   
   Was bored and though ide spend £3 on some rim tape.
   
   Yes it looks like its on stilts lol. Doesnt help being on a curb aswell. Will get better pics when its say back off curb...
   
   It should look better when i get it lowered -60mm all around... but am just toying with ideas atm.
   
   Before / After pics:
   
   
   
   
   
   What you think? I know its a bit bold atm. But after the summer it should die down a bit... and i like to be a bit different.

   same colour matey just thinner version of the tape, that might be why it looks less noticable. defo better with either size tape tho chap.

    rim tape looks good given the right colour, but i think it works well with the black S wheels
