Red.
I don't think you'd notice the black that much on a red/silver bike.

Rim tape has only two advantages,
1. it's cheap (and looks it)
2. it's easy to take off.

If you really must then use paint, you'll get a far nicer effect.
Or if you can't do it with paint and have to use tape, at least take more than 5 minutes toput it on, done well it's OK I guess, but poorly applied it looks really bad and tacky.

Cheers Mark.

no!!! dont fit rim tape!!!

Do it properly; take the wheel off, and fix it to something to rotate it at a decent speed. The take a brush of the thickness you want the paint line to be, and just hold it on the rim.

Then it wont be wonky (providing you have a steady hand)

Well, red on an otherwise all black bike (with perhaps red stickers for the motorcycle model e.g. GSXR, R6 etc) dosnt look bad

Its when you get a nice bike, then someone sticks day-glo green rim tape, and rushes the job aswell
