          It looks good but dont use the Tape. It looks like shit IMHO, paint them on.

            I like them without the pinstrip. Your bike is so clean looking. In my opinion the pinstrip screams streetsquid and cheapens an otherwise awesome bike. To each his own, that's just my opinion.

              The more I look at it, the more I agree with you... It kinda distorts the lines of the bike... Thnx guys!

                  Cool

                  I think it looks pretty badazz with the wheel tape. That's a sharp looking bike! The red with the black wheels is a nice combo. I don't think the tape is over the top or squidly at all, I think it pops nicely.

                    Some of the tape you can get is reflective... adding to your safety at night.
                    I like the look on your bike.

                      No pinstripes... it's becoming way to trendy in my opinion.

                        Ok, I've decided...

                        I'm sticking with the clean gloss black wheels... No pinstripes...
                        I think it keeps the bike looking cleaner... the less destractions
                        from the clean hawk lines, the better...

                        Thanx for all the input guys!
