I like it!

Was going to get some myself. Does it look durable? Was it easy to apply?

My brother has done this on his motorbike looks amazing, but i would say yours isn't the same colour as your car so I dont know if it looks right? But I still like it :eek:

Yeah it isnt the same colour unfortuantly, shame, would look so much better if it was, such a hard colour to find the same shade as though! I'm going to try and find the closest match and put that on, doubt I'll be able to find any reflective stuff though!

Not a fan of the Titans I'm afraid :p I think Super T's are in order ;) but yeh is pretty nice. Makes the wheels look smaller but better overall.

Ideas on colours then? :)

If I cant find a colour the same as my body colour anywhere!

I had bike tape on my old wheels:eek:

I like it on yours although as said the alloys look rather small now

smart. how do you apply it? does it crease? id do it if i didnt fook up :)


comes in quarters, just stick it on! lol, follow the rim of the wheel and press it down! glue takes a min or 2 to set propperly so you can move it about abit to get it right! nope didnt crease at all suprisingly, thought it would be a right pain in the arse but it took like 5-7mins for each wheel it get right.

can get another type that is a roll of tape, and you feed it through some contraption that rests on the rim of the wheel and feed it through, or so I've heard!

athankya! undecieded wether to keep it or not tbh! I do like it but think it would look ALOT better with the right colour!

Still wanting proper 182 wheels? ;)


I ammmm! well I will be when im back from hol, need all my money for spending money at the mo :(




Mixed responce, It'll be off untill I can find the right colour, or if I get the 182 wheels before then it'll be off forever :eek:
