Default Rim Bands for your wheels

Installed these Rim Bands on my Vette. It was really easy...did not have to remove the tires. They protect the rims from curb rash...but I got them because I like the way they look. They come in different colors.
What do y'all think???

I've seen a lot worse thing. They'd really look slick with some other red accents, or red interior.

Looks good on your car. Interesting idea. I can see them being used on large diameter black wheels to provide some distinction between the wheel and the tire sidewall especially if they offer some curb rash protection.

THANKS! I like them because it reminds me of the "old school" red line tires back in the day.

Looks great!

I like the red banding, especially with black wheels, but I'm a bit bias.

I was never a fan of those rims, but the red makes them look great

I have the same wheels but, my tires stick out from the wheel and will rub before the wheels would. My wife on the other hand could use them
