a pic might help? lol

I'd need a full side profile to form a proper opinion. :D

Doesn't look bad though.

I added a most important fourth choice to your poll......:lol:


JK, it could look good. But as stated, need a shot of the whole car to determine.

Hmmm... Is that one of those plastic inserts?? Local guy has them in a different color on a different color car and I like them.

Red/red... Meh.

There is a certain member here who has them on a yellow vert with chrome wheels. All I can say is :ack:

i think NO myself

wheels chrome dont need any more attention to it, if it was a black wheel then maybe?

so im saying PUT THE STRIPPING TAPE DOWN AND STEP AWAY FROM YOUR CORVETTE! LoL!

It's vinyl tape...:thumbs:

Do not like chrome, and dual colored or striped wheels are almost as bad. You asked. :leaving:

Are you doing this for you or are you doing this for others ?
If you like it, then that's what counts the most (It's your car after all).

Prefer the stripes on painted wheels, but if you like it is the important thing!

Im doing it for Shows...so Im trying to see what you all think cause a Judge may share your same thoughts...

I like it!!!

I wouldn't do anything to my car to win a show that I wouldn't be happy driving around (translated = not embarrassed) every day.


What I like comes first, the judge is a distant second......

Silly question, but wouldn't this stripe get peeled off the next time you replace your tires?

It looks OK to me and I like chrome wheels, but I think the chrome wheels speak for themselves without the need for a stripe on them.

Yup - they'd rip right off.. :thumbs:

I used the tape to see the "look" of the stripe - if I decide I love it, Ill have it painted. $6 roll of tape is much cheaper than a pro paint job - only to find out Im on the fence (Like I am now)...:D

I think that's because of your detest of chrome more than the stripe...

If you like what you have done and the way it looks than go with it. I never come on here and ask others what they think about what i am doing to my car. Its your car, Your opinion is the only one that counts.

I don't think it looks bad, but I still voted no because I don't think it pops off the wheel as much as it would on a painted rim. The chrome sort of overpowers it unless up close. If you decide to keep it do yourself a HUGE favor and do NOT paint it on. How often do you change tires and what is $6 for a new roll and your time to reinstall. Better than having it permanent and growing tired of it later. And if you ever sell, that could be a major deal breaker for the next person.

I'm the guy Jeff T. commented as having the plastic trim. Called RimProTec. Peel and stick, a bit more money than vinyl, but also serves as protection against wheel rash and you can change the color insert whenever you want/need to. Plus they are thinner than your choice in vinyl so it is much more subtle. I'm using a blue against a gunmetal rim. It will rip off during a tire change, but it's the price I pay for deciding on them.
