Looking at Vinyl wheel stripes and reflective stripes of different colors and would like to know what experiences Vision riders have had with accent stripes on 18 inch wheels. I think this might be overkill when painting a bike a solid color but would like to hear opinions.  Like to hear from some of the lurkers out there too.   BDC

depends. if you were going bobber in flat black, a red accent stripe would look good. even whitewalls with it. What color you going with?

If the wheels were yellow with a black stripe that would look good. Black w/ yellow stripe, probably even better. Or pinstripe the tins and plastics, say, purple, and do the black wheel striped in purple, too. Whatever color but you know what I mean. Or Red .. W/ pin stripes and tire stripe, and in addition red plug wires and starter power line, etc.  Maybe you can get purple wires? Anyway, Im not a designer, you asked, so I did "Paint" in my head!  Some thoughts for ya.

yellow, as the main color on the wheels may be too much.

I helped a friend put on red stripes on a black wheel from a CBR. I's a nice noticeable upgrade. They are still on after a year.
