Default Yellow Reflective Wheel Stripes

Just put these on today. $15 mod... During the day regular yellow stripes but at night when light flashes on them they look like they "glow" (last pic). Let me know what you think. I'm on the fence right now but leaning towards keeping them.

Borderline ricey, but they tie nicely to the caliper. I always figure you kids and your murdered-out cars need a bit of color...

I like them in daylight but not a fan of the reflector at night. A Little accent gets pretty loud pretty quick.

Love it during the day, not sure about the reflective look at night.

I like the daylight look! If I ever actually get my yellow V2 calipers onto my car, I may have to copy.

Agreed with the others. Like it in the day, not so much for the reflective night look.

I think the yellow calipers is the perfect offset. Even though I love murdered out cars. Im not digging the stripe, but I'm not gonna say it looks horrible.

I think I like where you put the v-emblem better than I do the wheels...

Thanks for all the replies!!! Got a brake tag / inspection sticker today and when I saw it driven by someone else the wheels looked real nice with the stripe. Maybe a thinner stripe would be better.

Since you have yellow calipers they don't look terrible.

I'm not digging the reflective look, but I bet it looks cool rolling down the street. Like a light cycle from Tron or something.
