If you do does rim tape look good on the bronze wheels.

Post a pic if you can.

Just wondering out loud.

So what colour tape would you use on Bronze rims ?

I have lurid Yellow rim tape on my BST Carbons , looks good if I do say so myself, but then my bike is Blue which helps 😁👍

I think a Charcoal, like the master cylinders, would be subtle but noticeable, and make the bike stand out from others.

Edit:  They're black, aren't they?  Matte black is my answer then.

Also not an 8th gen or bronze wheels, but...the visibility increase is money.  I would go with the "black" or "gray" reflective strips and enjoy.  ~10 years ago I'd have never put these on my bike, now I'm really glad they're there.  And it seems like I see them on other motorcycles more often than not.  

This is pre-refurb so ignore the faded plastic and whatnot, but "flash" photography from my phone.  The red pops...every other color will pop more.  I have very similar white decals on my night-ride oriented road bike and it would be hard for a motorist to say they didn't see them (or my 3600 lumen bike lights, etc.).
