    Default Great Looking Wheels - Anybody Wrapped RT or RTS Wheels?

    I am a new owner of a 2017 RT-S. Love it but not crazy about the solid black wheels. After this expenditure, though, I'm not crazy about spending several hundred more on new wheels. Elsewhere I've seen paint jobs that guys have done with their RT wheels; I like the look but I'd prefer not to mess with paint if I don't have to -- too permanent and too easy to screw up. A wrap like yours is the clear choice. I contacted the owner of WrapMySpyder and he agrees that wraps for the RT would be great but he doesn't offer them because he doesn't have access to RT wheels. Hence my question - Does any other company offer wraps to fit RT or RT-S wheels? If not, it looks like I might have to buy some wide reflective tape and get inventive. I am pretty sure I could do a good job on from the end of the spokes inward but the problem with is where to end the wrap. It would be difficult to hand-cut the spokes with enough precision to let the color go all the way to the hub and make it actually look good. This is where a commercial grade wrap would be perfect. I guess I could cut off the color on each spoke before the color reaches the hub (i.e., all equally short) and that would be symmetrical and not sloppy looking, but I also suspect it really wouldn't look that great. Any other ideas?

    Try looking up up your local Fast Signs franchise. They can do a lot, the skills of each store's personnel may determine the fruition of your dream, or not. If the first o tells you no, try another.

    Default Consider PlastiDip

    You might want to consider PlastiDip for all or part of your wheels. It is a plastic aerosol that is available in clear gloss to a wide variety of colors. The product appears to be both durable and removable. You can find many web resources and videos on how to use the product. It's also readily available at autoparts stores. I purchased clear gloss at Pep Boys which I am going to use as a protective layer for select areas of my RT.

    Default Do what I did

    In years gone by, I would just open the door and ride or push my motorcycle into
    the living room after putting news paper on the carpet and work on it there.
    I had to use good ear plugs so I didn't hear my mother or later my wife SCREAM
    about it...

    Hmm, I've always wondered about running them in the opposite direction.... Any issues with cooling of the brakes etc?
