I think it looks ok, go for it.

You may find a fair few rim tape haters on here though.

It's fairly cheap, get some and see.

I wouldn't bother on a Hornet. Might change my mind if the wheels were black rather than grey though.

[ms51ves3]

I don't like it.

Less is more in this case

Im with craig. Rim tape tends to only look good on black wheels.

If you had black rims, it's advisable since it hides a multitude of sins:

Scuffed rims
Stone chips
Disk Lock scuffs etc

Plus it's often nice to break up the blandness of a black wheel and give it some contrast.

In your case, leave it out.

I put it on my pan more for safety than the looks, having said that I reckon it looks good during the day, even better in the dark!

Try luminous yellow instead of red, better visability and not overkill in the red

Rim tape is gayer than a gay orgy, I suppose it could be useful if you're trying to find other butt pirates.

[Charlie]

I am glad to see I am not the only hornet 250 rider here.... we should go for a ride one day! lol

Where you from?

I'd also have to say no to the rim tape.
