Any tips/advice on how to put the wheel tape? I'm anal and can see myself taking forever to get it right.

I ordered a generic set, and there was no way to get them in a perfect circle.   

So they're not installed.

This guy makes it look easy.  Once he's done, when the wheel is spinning, you can see they are not a perfect circle.

Thanks for the clip. You confirmed this will take me days. Maybe I can get a wavey disc so it'll match my tape job.

Thanks for the clip. He makes it look easy, and I'm sure he's done thousands of them.

What if I don't have a stand like that? I'll suppose it'll make installing the rim stripes that much harder.

Really lookin' forward to your honest report out when you get your 180 on. Please give all the pros/cons including the diff.

[mrplease]

Looks clean with the white and clear lenses.  You just need to black out that yellow shock!!
