   Rim tape from ebay or a local bike shop as they are used on bikes, i got some for mine but decided that it was going to work as i have glossy black alloys on my car and the tape didnt stick to it, and i wnated to cover the whole lip but i got 7mm and to cover the whole lip youd need about 14mm to cover it properly, the only think of having the tape on the lip is that when you have to chnage the tyre then the tape will come off so youd have to do it again, but tbh it wouldnt take long. Small mod but makes a decent look.

   i think 9mm precurved jus under lip is easy and hassle free for changing tyres, and also if u have any sort of dents or marks on ur lip u wont be able to put tape over it
