Pinstripe or No Pinstripe?

Also, food for thought.... Buddy of mine has stripes on his rim that are simply too wide (about 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch).... The thought and color works (black car, black rims, red stripe), but the stripe is overpowering at that width. He is looking into getting the rim retouched down to 1/4 inch.
Sad that it didnt work for him from the box.....
Being that you are staying the same color as the car, it may not matter, but his experiance showed me something new to watch out for.

Sorry, I don't care for it. I don't really care for black wheels (reminds me of all the BMWs around here with a coating of brake dust on the wheels) either, but I am an "old guy' so take that into consideration. I'm sort of a "purist" with Jaguars as opposed to some other brands. That is not to say that I don't like any modifications I see here. I very much like the ones C- J made to the rear valance panel on his silver XK along with is black grille. I have entered quite a few local Jaguar concours events so you know what that means as far as modifications go.

Alternative to Pinstriping Wheels - Rim Ringz (tm)
When I came across this product I thought it was interesting that their website featured a 4.2L XKR with 20" Senta wheels. I think the Salsa red XKR looks great with their Rim Ringz.
Their product is a plastic ring that installs between the rim and the tire, in sizes to fit wheels from 15" to 20". They claim to enhance the look of your car, protect rims from curb rash, and conceal existing curb rash. If you're thinking about pinstriping your wheels, you might want to consider this alternative. Price for a set of 4 ranges from $80 (15") to $90 (20"). Their website has lots of info - faqs, installation instructions, etc. Here's the link: Home | Car accessory that adds flare, protects tire / wheel / rim and covers curb damage | RIM RINGZ tm
Without and with:
I'm thinking about getting a set to conceal some minor curb rash. Red is a little too flashy for my taste. I'm not sure if black or silver would be best, so I emailed them for samples. I'll let you know what I think.
What do you think?

I'm going to see what color ring I could come up to go with my black car and its silver wheels. Thanks for posting.
