Rim tape.

I don't feel like spending the money or order wait time to get rim tape that people say is a pain in the ass,.

I got white duck tape...yes duck tape not duct tape

If I just spend a nice afternoon cutting up little pieces going around the tire, you think it'll look ddecent while riding?

actually, I am. notice who still hasn't bought himself rim stripes...

I want purple ones with the cool white flecks on them that are reflective. I just have such a hard time deciding between green or purple...

Anyone know where I can get green rim tape to match the candy apple lime? Hell, if there's enough, I'll split it with someone.

Check on tapeworks/ebay etc. You should be able to get a metallic-y green that matches the candy apple lime close enough. Honda has a similar color that was out before Kawi chose your color.
