Default Rim tape - your thoughts?

Wondering what some views are on having a coloured tape around the wheel.. iv been looking at a couple of bikes with it, and still not certain whether it would go with my bike or not...

You'll find that many people on here will brand you a chav at the mere thought of it.

However, it is your bike so do as you please. FWIW, I think rim tape only looks good on black wheels.

As Simesb says it is your bike and your choice.
But as you are asking for peoples opinions then - I think it looks awful

Rim tape = chavvy as a chavvy thing on a chavvy day in chavvyville.

But it is your bike, so it doesn't matter a jot what we think - but you did ask .

The pinstripe is painted on my wheels and comes as standard..?!

Does that make me a chav as well?

Who cares what anyone else thinks?
You doing it for them or you?

The only opinion that matters is yours and if you like it , do it.
