8250 - C8 Sharkfin Rimstripes
8250 - C8 Sharkfin Rimstripes
Tapeworks Sharkfin Rimstripes kit 8250 is designed to overlay the outer machined lip found on the 2020-24 'Open Spoke' C8 Corvette wheels and add some color coordinated pizazz or to black it out.
We have had a few customers inform us that the 2023-24 Sharkfin wheel shape is slightly different from the 2020-22 shapes and doesn't cover perfectly. An updated the design is now offered to fit the 2023-24 wheels. When you choose Select Year there are 2 options: 2020-22 or 2023-24.
1 kit is all you need to do all 4 wheels.
Available in a number of different colors allowing you to choose to fully blackout the wheels outer lip or color coordinate with the car's paint color.
8250-RM (color #008 Metallic Gran Turismo Red) is a great match to:
- C8 Corvette Red Mist Metallic
- C8 Corvette Edge Red calipers
From a customer that we sent color swatches to find the best match to his Edge Red calipers:
“In the photo showing 3 samples on a stick, the sample at the top, 6005, is too much on the pink side of red. Of the two remaining colors 6130 (Blood Red) and 6008 (Metallic Gran Turismo Red), I think 6008 fits the bill better. Now, the actual color of 6130 is a somewhat better match for the Edge Red base paint tint itself, but IT IS NOT METALLIC. So, 6008, although not perfect, would be the choice of my two eyeballs. One other photo shows both 6130 (top) and 6008 (bottom) stuck onto the caliper and 1/4” strips stuck on the edge of the rim. You can see your numbers on the larger tapes stuck to the caliper itself. In full sunlight where this picture was shot, I believe 6008 Gran Turismo is a better fit to the Edge Red calipers on my Corvette.”
Sharkfin rimstripes are also available in Reflective Bermuda Blue and Reflective Black. Reflective Bermuda Blue is slightly darker than Rapid Blue but, is the closest shade of blue that is also reflective like a stop sign.
24 pre-curved sections are included in each kit
- 5 sections required for each wheel (20 total) + 4 extra (for spare, repair, or practice)
- Each section overlaps
- Each section has the shark fin built-in
- Different sizes for the front and rear wheels
NO SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED - Installs using your hands
Installation is possible without lifting the wheels off the ground.
If you don't lift the wheels off the ground, you will want to move the car so the wheels rotate 180 degrees after installing the top 3 or 4 sections (providing better access to install the remaining sections) and you will want to make sure the tape gets rolled over the outer edge of the rim and makes full contact near the tire. Installation would be a easier if the wheels were off the ground.
