Since the gold wheels were not available in the states(bummed) I was thinking about putting on gold wheel tape.
Do you you guy's like it? or not?

My buddy has black, and a little red, on his R6 fairings, and he just did red tape on his wheels. It came out looking pretty good. Think it would look pretty good on the ole' 8. I have never put it on, is it hard to take off? Hell try it!
The gold wheels are really growing on me. That flat against that gold, damn that does look sharp!

I tried the gold tape and it looked like crap when I did it. When it is time to change the tires, I am definitely having my rims powdercoated in gold.
Has anyone tried to remove the paint of the wheel and polish them afterwards? I did this on my 919. Used Aircraft Aluminum Paint Remover on the lip and polished it, looked pretty slick actually. It was a real pain to keep them clean, but well worth it on a sunny day.

Did it not adhere right? or did it just not look good?
I have a set of red ones on the way. Iv'e never done them before so I guess we will see.
Cool, maby I'll wait and see what you see!
So my rim tape came in - unfortunately I thought it looked like A#$ so I only used the little squares you see in the picture and just used pinstriping instead.
