Don't do it in the sun,the heat will cause it to stretch and you won't get a good smooth curve.

If you GOOGLE "wheel pinstripe tape", you should find multiple sources. It's mostly used for motorcycles.

<--------See Avatar. My red pin run around the swoop and straight back along the door where the line continues from the swoop. It's a nice touch to the MSG color, red hood stripes and red letting on the front and back. I may try this to my gray wheels. Looks good, thanks for sharing.

Watch out for Shine Graphics. I bought a set of these. When I finally got my order part of it was missing and the size was wrong. I tried 5 times to contact then and recieved no responses. gave then a negative feedback and and in talks with ebay and paypal about getting my money back.

I put on some stripes from Oreilly. They are holding up well. The thing I really like about using the stripes from O'Reilly is you only have one part on the wheel where the stripe overlaps. The stuff from Shine comes in 4 pieces. If you get close it looks like chit. If you make a applicator with the O'Reilly package the stripes will go on evenly and will not wrinkle.
