Not enough yellow on the bike to support yellow wheel stripes imo

Either would look good. And I think you can get them both in retro-reflective material

I'm not sure what you mean by too yellow? As levers a lot of guys like avg. I've only ever used stock but a search will turn up more.

You've got a pm btw

The only yellow on the bike is the "i" in F4i. Without more yellow on the bike, yellow rim tape would just imbalance the silver / black contrast

but what do I know?

I have the same colour as your bike and have the silver rim stripes on it. They look white at night when the light hits them.
I attached a couple pics where you can see them on the front.
Im still debating if I like them or not.... I only had them on for the last week or so of the season so once I get my bike out of storage I'll figure out if I am going to keep them or not.
