| Sep 29, 2021 at 13:08 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | @AndrewMorton Black is also by far the most common color for zip-ties. Unless you're going to go out of your way to try and color-match the tie to your rims, it's the one most people are likely to have around the house (or repair shop) already. | |
