RimSkin?
I don't know if you guys have heard of this product but it's like a sticker-sort of deal for your deep-v rims. Changes the color of your deep V rims without all that paint work, and is totally reversible.
Their website is here:
https://www.therimskin.com/
and I want to get the reflective one. From what I hear it's made to be as reflective as street signs at night so it's an added safety feature as well as a change of rim color.
However, I do know that there's some regulations regarding "distracting stuff" for motor vehicles. Do you think reflective RimSkins would be included in that? I imagine that my wheels must be bright to a motorist. Do you know if such laws apply to bicycles? Specifically Vancouver, BC.
Here's one in action for reference:

Let me know what you guys think!

I agree... but it does seem somewhat logical as it gets dark around 3 pm in December here. (and i'm not going to lie, I do care for the looks of my fixie)
And provided that I can't find any real alternatives to spray painting my rims + provide a reflective surface....
Why do you think I'm a shill?

Cause usual shill goes:
Hey guys! Never heard of ______, but what do you guys think?
Blah Blah some random semi-shill facts or questions.
Check out _________.com and here's a vid of ________!
Let me know what you guys think!
You may not be but your post looks like it fits the usual standards and people are tired of shill, expect flak. Sorry if you're legit...

I'd buy some reflective ones if they weren't double the price of the standard colors. Reflective white rims for $20 would be doable to me considering a can of decent spray paint is $6 anyways
