KoxXy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 My frame is away gettin fixed so i thought i'd re tape my rims, what u think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Are those some bitchin' stress marks around the spoke holes in the 2nd pic down, or just well shiny rims? I'm digging the colour scheme either way (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoxXy Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) Its the way the light reflects off the rim, I was abit peeved cause as anybody with the blu rims knows if you catch them in the right light you can get a purplish color in there as well so i was tryin to get the pic to show up the purple tint in the rim. LOL luckily there not stress marks :D The tape style has been done before by sombody else. I was gonna get Dayglo yellow and do that to match my brakes but i couldn't be bothered to leave my house :D to lazy (Y) Edited February 22, 2005 by KoxXy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 someone should make some rim tape so there is a yellow smilie in each hole, that would be so good! i would do it but i seem to be lacking the holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny Jones Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Lots of people seem to be doing this to they're drilled rims... bit of a trend coming on methinks. Looks pretty cool though! However, not liking the fact that these TryAll rims never get given eyelets - sucks and just puts more pressure on the rims, and they still get to sell them for a stupidly high price. Oh well! V!Z Rims here I come! :( Jonny. Edited February 24, 2005 by trialmedia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
