Zach, def. throw'em on there. i LOVE mine and *** ffingers has said.....nothing but compliments. i think the white will look great on your bike. i love how the rimstripes bring out such a dull part of the bike.......black swinger, black tire, black rim......and the colored rimstripe brought something to that part of the bike.

i say put them on then show us the end result. i'd love to see them on that bike.

I would do an accent color. My old roommate (Hamster) had me do his rim-stripes on his bike. He wanted silver, but I refused and said I would only do them in red. He trusted my eye for this kind of thing and was absolutely thrilled with the results. I chose red on the white/silver ones because of that red accent on the CBR decal. I think it turned out amazing............

Your rims need something. I would have em painted on (like Ffinger said) if your going to add to all that custom work your putting into the bike.

Put some black stripes on! I think white would look really nice. Do it!

I fully agree with Blue here. The bike looks great with Red

Sorry its not a better job but I am working on a presentation and took a quick break. (The color of the red is off) and the lines are a little wavy.
