Reflective stripes on wheels? - Toyota Yaris Forums

So this is common place in the world of Motorcycles, but I dont see much if any on street cars.

What do you all think?

It's black reflective tape. Pretty much invisible during the day.

It is yellow.. it is not invisible ))))))))))

only with a bright light at night, as the first pic was shot without a flash.

ezhacker1 · 03-09-2013, 10:49 PM

On black rims okay.

I don't see why not. People add "beauty" rings to their steelies. This is like a "sleeper" version of beauty rings. lol

this could be handy in in-climate weather I would think :)

Do they come in ring or round shape or on a spool like normal tape?

UberSilver · 06-06-2013, 11:47 PM

They come in 1/4 section for what ever size wheel. I put fat ones on the steel rims, but the Mini Cooper wheel had some curb rash, so I hit them with a palm sander, leaving a 4mm wide flat section. So I use 3mm reflective tape on the alloys.

Shoot, I can make that myself. We have a cutter. Like the Logo Idea too. People can advertise their businesses.
