I'm sure you could! It's more of a dark slightly pinkish color without a flash on it. This the kind I got and I'm really satisfied with it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014HXRLX4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rREizbW0XNPNV

Doh! I hope you got it sorted out. Just make sure you order the correct size for your rims too. Here it is on the Amazon Canadian site if you haven't found it yet.

Wheel weights can really just go anywhere on the wheel there's a flat enough spot to stick it to, but I try to get it as close to the center as possible. I use stick-on weights, but the guy who I had doing my tires before always used the clamp-on weights. Both seem just fine.

You throw the wheel with tire onto the balancer and the heavy spot will orient itself downward. Add the weights to the light end that is upward. I use a piece of electrical tape to hold weights on temporarily and add them until it's balanced enough that the wheel wont spin on its own. It's not as awesome as those big expensive machines that tell you where to put the weights, but I've personally never had issues. Just takes patience and forethought.

Here are the tool I use:

Rim savers These work very well, but I think if you have spoons that aren't flat and wide like the motion pros it can break the plastic it's made from. Mixed reviews. Some recommend three, but they're sold in pairs. I went ahead and got two sets in case I broke one somehow.

Wheel balancer I had heard horror stories about the cheaper end balancers and figured I'd just do it right the first time and went ahead and got this thing. Very solid piece of equipment.

Two smaller spoons - These work great I think. I have a slight bias toward motion pro since, in my experience, they make good stuff.

Large spoon - It's useful for the last part of the tire if you can't manage it with a shorter spoon. More leverage. Not entirely necessary, but three total spoons is ideal.

Air compressor - To set a bead you need one with a high enough PSI, but this was bought with the air tools in mind. I'm pretty sure it would be overkill for just mounting tires.

Bead breaker - There is a motorcycle specific one that I saw, but it seemed like it was designed for scooter wheels that are much smaller. I saw it in action at a friends house and it works fine as well.

There are competing brands and vendors for everything you can think of, so shop around for whatever you decide on doing. There's a good chance there's a better deal out there on something. I just use amazon for reference.

I got one from amazon that comes curved. You just have to clean the rims and you can take it off and put it on as many times as you want, and it won't make it any less sticky. Luckily I did it right as I bought the bike, which made the rims as smooth as a baby's buttock.

Here's the link to the product: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G6188EM/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I recently bought these, they come in many colors and tire size combinations. You have to search for your size individually though.

How reflective is it in normal lighting conditions?

I found this seller on Amazon and he says he can custom-make any of his reflective tape.
