Sorry was hoping for a set of Michilins or something that would make the rim tape that much more funny. Should have known better than Tigger not matching!

I liked it until I saw it on the bike.
The blues don't match and it makes the wheels look too busy. Just my opinion, of course.

Yea, the problem is that I opted for the reflective tape that gets lighter depending on the angle that the light hits it. Under low light conditions the color is closer. If I brought a piece of the tail and a wheel inside, they would match. Oh well, that's the great thing about vinyl...don't like it or have gotten tired of it? Rrrrrriiiiippppp!!!!! Besides, I gave up on the perfect color match between accessories a LONG time ago, brother!!!

Eh... I'm not sure,yet. I'm not crazy about it for sure. My first plan was just to put a couple "Bridgestone"s on the rims. I used to paint in the letters on the tires. I even tried to have letters made out of a thicker vinyl that I could glue to the tires but it didn't work very well... Again, I spent an hour putting that shit on so it's staying at least until the next tire change!!!

I know what you mean about the time invested. Hell, maybe in that time period it will grow on you? I think it's just the colors not being 100% at a distance that makes me not sold on it.
The bike does look great though... good job!

If I ever get serious about stripes, I'll probably get a blue to match that is not reflective.
