It's a subtle change that looks stock, so that's fantastic!

I had also thought about putting a red pinstripe around the rims. That was a nice bonus to see a photo of. How did you have it done?

I just ordered some rim tape from amazon - There are ton of different types (mainly made for motorcycles) but you want to make sure to get a non-reflective tape. Also I'd recommend as thick of tape as possible. The one I installed was 3/8" and I think it's a bit too thin.

Also the color red I ordered seems to be a bit too bright, i'd recommend getting something a bit deeper in color if you can find it. Also, I recommend getting tape that is on a spool/aplicator vs. being cut up into individual pieces (which the kit i got was).

The stripes are easy to put on, simply clean the wheels, wipe them with alcohol, dry then apply.
