Every so often, I think about doing this but I never get around to it. Looks good. If I do it, I will do it with reflective rim tape.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I cant believe how the little striping tool leaves everything so darn straight! No wobbles or waves at all. I redid the rear wheel because it was my first attempt and i wasn't happy with how the stripe ends joined at the seam. I did the front rim and it came out great. Got the technique down and the tape joint all good so i said screw it im real picky and i know that rear is gonna bug me. So, i redid it. Took me five minutes. I also used pin-striping from pep boys, USA stuff so it was pretty good quality. The tape i got with the tool/kit was crappy. It didn't stick and would break if I applied enough pressure to the tool. If anyone is looking at doing this i would get the tool even if you have to get the cheapo striping with it, then just get quality striping and you ll be good., Mine is 1/4 inch size BTW. And of course, prep is key. Make sure the wheels are clean and use some alcohol or wax remover to get any residue off the surface where the stripes will go.
