Has anyone tried these

Hi,

I saw something similer to these on a celica today and they looked the pin stripe effect wheels that you can get nowdays.

I was looking to purchase the grey/alloy colour ones so they wouldnt stand out and my wheels would be protected.

Any thoughts on this type of product?

P.S the ones on the website on the bently look ok as not a stupid coulour like the red,blue,green or pink ones LOL

What are pin stripe wheels?

[Bluesmurff09]

Alot of boy racers have black wheels that have a line of colour round the edge of the rim that normally matches the colour of the car.

So basically you want to know if its possible to put a stripe round the outer edge of the wheel? if so, of course you can..

Or is the OP refering to those rim protecter thingys than come in various colours?

That's what I'm on about group n.

I thought i'd added the link to my post.

Aaaaah now I understand, the only set I've seen on a car were kerbed to hell and looked awful.

Cynical yes; but if you're crashing into kerbs that badly and that often you've got more to worry about than the cost of wheel refurbs.

Less cynically, if they look ok and fit well then it's a decent preventative measure - be interesting to hear what you think if you buy a set.
