After pin-striping cars, bikes, boats and everything else for 7 years I said, "hey, I wonder how this would look on my rims." So I got some cheap 1/4" red pin-striping from Autozone and put it around the lips of my rims, I wanted to try it out and maybe paint them on later. Well I did it and it's not really for me but it turned out pretty good and I figured I would share the idea for anyone else who wants to try.

Dunno if they fit your rims, but there is a bezel trim you can buy for wheels. I seen a White Tahoe on Cardomain with a blue bezel that was painted like a bandana. Yours looks good, it adds some contrast.

Pin-striped lips seem to be pretty popular right now, though I haven't seen any in the flesh (only pics online). I think that looks cool.

Looks a little like the "redline" tires that used to be stock on the 60's GTO's.

It was pretty cool back then. Not sure about now.
