Just saw these on the bay :doh:

Are they functional or pure decoration for chav-mobiles?

Just saw what on ebay...??? Can't seem to see a link on the post.
 
Rim Tapes are normally used in the well of the wheel to cover the ends of the Spokes on Spoked /Wire Wheels. they are there to protect the Inner Tube from rubbing on the ends of the Spokes and puncturing.

+1 but I think these ones cover the edge of the tyre where the wheel joins.
 
I think (having seen them) that they are to decorate the rim...to give a go-faster stripe on the edge of the wheel just inside the outer rim. They'd work well on a black wheel.
