Unless you do a lot of track driving, why would you want the stripe (other than for the look?) That is obviously tape, as a carbon wheel wouldn't have the stripe.

I use this quite often with novice drivers to keep them oriented on where the steering position is in relation to the front wheels...this and absolutely no shuffle steering. It's a great tool for teaching turn in and apex steering adjustments (too early, too late). As mentioned, some wheels have the leather stripe sewn in...I use yellow tape.
