I did and really like it. No problems with it coming off. A good clean rim is the trick. I have some PPG degreaser I use for paint prep work, so I used that.

Looks really good on your bikes , mine is two tone silver and red. I can't decide on what colour to go on the wheels.

How about one of each? If the front of the bike is more red, then use a red stripe on the front and silver on the back. Or vice versa.

I used www.tapeworks.com but it ain't cheap. It's excellent quality and you get enough for 5 sides in case you screw up or need to do repairs. The wheels can be on and they have some helpful tips on their site.
