Wheel rim tape/stickers (UK)

Post by tildarama1 »

Hi,

I am looking at adding some white/reflective wheel rim tape/stickers to my white pcx.

I am looking at the official Honda wheel rim stickers (which say that they are silver). Does anyone have any pics of these on a pcx?

What other types of wheel rim tape is good stuff? And how wide/what size does it need to be?

Anyone seen any rainbow/multicoloured tape anywhere?

THANK YOU

I had black reflective tape on mine until I painted the wheels. It's wasn't too noticeable but lit up when a light was shone on them. I think I got them on ebay.
What I noticed though was that some tapes are designed for bigger wheels than the pcx so the curve is not as big as you need. This makes it slightly harder to fit them without creases.

Just make sure the kit you order matches the PCX's rim size. :)
