Someone mentioned "wheel stripes" that motorcycle guys use and can be found on ebay. I may try those next.

lmao, dont bother, thats what i ordered and all it was was a roll of vinyl pin striping anout 2-3mm thick, when they advertised it 1/4. whatever.

im thinking about getting touch up paint with the brush and doing either sonic blue or infra red. but idk yet, and not sure what color will look best

Are you guys using pin striping tape?

Last year when I did mine, I used actual vinyl, I cut to stripes and applied.

Vinyl is alittle more flexible then just pin stripping, so you'll have better luck with that.

Some of them are pre-cut vinyl; 4 quarter-circles per wheel. A few NJTuners guys have them on their cars.
