I got mine off eBay, too. They weren't bad. They came in quarter sections (4 "pre-bent" stripes/wheel). Took it slow and there are still some imperfections but on the whole, pretty nice!  :thumb:

I bought those ( precut 4 section ) wheel stripes from eBay and they are JUNK. They started peeling and folding after having them on for only a few months. I did email the original seller and stated my problem but did not receive a reply.

Last year I bought some pin stripe tape from Canadian Tire and had no problems. I recently removed the stripes I had and bought new tape from CT.


In short go to any Car parts place buy some pin stripe tape it will be cheaper, easier and better.
