hensh65 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I heard someone speak about this on here last week can't remember who. Just wondering if anyone has done this to their Zed and where and what to buy? Looking to get orange tape but not sure how hard it would be either to fit it.

Jay Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 You mostly see them on motorbikes....... not a fan mate. Just come and buy my volks off me haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Looks great on motorbikes, not sure about it on cars though. If you do go ahead with it it's really easy to apply if you get one with an applicator tool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddcboyle Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I believe its some kind of thin elastic tape so it bends without creasing. Personally im not a big fan, but I have seen some wheels that look awesome. I guess its just down to colour of car and wheels, and what type of wheels you got.

They are replica BBS 18" deep dish, they have a decent sized flat rim edge and thought orange would be nice. If It is ugly then it will just get peeled off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 For what it's going to cost to do I'd just go for it and like you said if you don't like it then peel it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I did it for a while on mine, looked ok but made the 19's look smaller. It also started to come off after a few weeks which is probably my fault, maybe I didn't clean the surface well enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like rim tape at all tbh but the above actually look's good I think on that Zed with those wheels. Confused now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMLNJ Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Don't like being negative on here but I'm not a fan either. Personally think the rays out of the Nissan box look the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I on the other hand really like it. I say go for it. For the few quid it will cost, if you dont like it you can remove it, Also it will keep you entertained for an afternoon whilst you're doing it which is always good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, that's what I did, cost less than a tenner to try it out. If I really liked it I'd bring it in to get them painted on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Did mine - I think it looks Good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Suits some cars, just need the right colour combo. As keyser has just posted a picture of his rim ( ooohhh eerrr captain ) it looks good and the same goes for Busters who I believe has rim tape. As it doesnt cost much then no harm in trying it Edited January 16, 2014 by Humpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hensh65 Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Orange tape on order, will update with picture next week when I get time to stick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Orange tape on order, will update with picture next week when I get time to stick it. just make sure you clean the crap out of the rims, like really scrub them, use degreaser if you have it, then clean again. It's pretty easy for crap to get behind it if it's not on well enough and then it starts to come off and look like a 50 pence piece lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Really it's your car, so if you like the idea go for it. Might be a nice way of a fairly cost effective visual change for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
