i think the second one is pretty cool, but probably harder to do/space out evenly.

Hey no problem...Whatever your decision is though clean the rim where your putting the vinyl GOOD....use rubbing alcohol to get everything off that lip then go back over with something such as simple green/windex until the rag your using is no longer picking up crap...idk about yours but my rims were dirty lol it also helps if you wet the area that way you can slide the vinyl strips around to place them nicely and it wont screw up the adhesive just need to let the water dry...would help a lot if you have stand too...i didnt so it took me awhile scooting all around the driveway lol

I like the first one. Like its been said, make sure the rims are clean. I've put on about 6 sets of tape so far, the little applicator that comes with them works great. I've always done them when I was changing tires, so the rims were off the bike. Easy.
