As you have asked for opinions/thoughts, mine is the same as it was in the other thread: The tape only makes the plasti-junk look worse. The best option would be to delete both and go back to the original wheel finish IMO.

I see a few occasionally on the drive home (I-4). But I am always in my DD. They're becoming a rare breed.

need a closeup of a wheel with GOOD lighting, just because something looks ok from 20 feet away doesn't mean it looks good up close.
