Not having wires on my car I haven't looked that closely at this tape
but it looks to be the same tape they wrap welded joints on oil and gas
pipelines before they bury it, it is a PVC tape about 4 times as thick
as electrical tape and comes in 2" & 4" wide roles like duct tape. If
you are in an area that the oil industry operates in and know anyone in
the business you might be able to pick up enough to do the job for free.
Unfortunately I'm no longer in that line of work it's how I Paid my way
through College.

the spoke ends.

Phil, the hot ticket these days is a special tape (looks like electrical
tape but thicker) that is available at British Wire Wheel and Hendrix
Wire
Wheel. I bought a roll from each and they sell the same thing. One
roll
should be plenty for four wheels.
