Review on customTAYLOR33 Yellow/Gold Reflective Safety Rim Tapes (Must Select Rim Size) - High Intensity Grade, Copyrighted Design - Perfect for Most SportsBikes, 17-Inch Rims by Mariqn Carey

These things pop! Suitable for wheels and accessories

As the change of time and season brings darkness while driving, I decided to increase safety at night. The reflectivity is excellent. My only concern is that I wish the stripes didn't need triangular shapes. Its pattern and lack of connection in the pattern across the various stripes makes it a little funny when you see it in non-reflective situations in daylight. If it was a more solid color without a pattern like 3m Scotchlite it would be perfect for me. It's a small complaint about the fantastic brightness they have when reflected in daylight, dusk and night. I had the benefit of already having a heat gun, but a blow dryer is great when you need to pre-strip other decals off a wheel or need to heat the rim tape a bit to keep the adhesive flexible. Make sure the memory is lint free. Towels and alcohol 90%+ to clean the rim edges. Go slowly, find a spot on the edge of the wheel to align the strip with, and try to stay even as you lay it down. Make sure each piece overlaps a bit, otherwise you'll end up with a whole lot of extra hits on the last piece.

Pros
