you need to modify your pics.  Go back to where you have them hosted and change the extension from "jpeg?" to jpg.

good call there, bsd...we wouldn't have known otherwise...lol

mello, do you have them hosted on your own site or uploaded to an online service?  If it's via your own site open the FTP and right click on the pics.  Select properties and at the top of the little box that comes up will be a text bar with the name of the file.  Here you can change it.  Just remove that question mark.

If you can't get her rung out then you can email the pics to me and I'll host them

Hmm....I like it, but it might be a little loud on my SV... Has anyone ever tried black reflective on black wheels?

I've always wanted to try the reflective blue, but $40 is a bit steep for me

OOPS!  I just looked at prices again.  $20...

I thought they were still $40.

Here's a sample of how the BLUE look according to their site:

 I have the RED REFLECTIVE rim tape on my 05 500 F and they look bitchin. I am going to do a set on the HYOSUNG 250 COMET by spring. TAPEWORKS is great to deal and parts came fast. Cost was $ 20.00 a set.      CHEERS!

I'd like to use the reflective tape, but its so damn wide. I want a thiner line. nothing wider than a 1/4"
Title: Re: Wheel Stripes from Tapeworks
Post by: Alphamazing on February 22, 2006, 04:07:54 PM
Hmm. The blue looks really good. I might not go with reflective and just get some blue rim tape from 3M or something. Yay fathers who gots the hookup from adhesive companies! :)

Pin Striping tape? :o
I can't put that on flat surfaces and keep it straight with no buckles let alone trying to make a circle on a wheel with it! :icon_rolleyes: :cookoo:
But then again, I'm just a clutz. (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f91/Jim-in-Toledo/peekaboo.gif)

 I have found that if you peel back only [ ABOOT ] 1 x INCH [ 2 x cm ]  at a time and you have a light right behind you [trouble light] it goes a long way to make the job easier. Just take your time and enjoy the mod process you will be happy with the finished peoduct.    CHEERS!

Yea, if you get the tape from tapeworks, just follow the installation instructions...
