Once again I’ve jumped in to the deep end. Anybody have advice on how to apply vinyl checker tape to hoops. I thought maybe heat gun applied lightly & carefully. Would appreciate any advice.

If you are trying to get it to wrap the sidewalls too, I don't think you are going to have much success.
I would suggest just wrapping the main surface of the rim. That's how the Electra Straight 8 wheels are.
 
The wheels are black, so you really only need the white pieces on the sidewalls.
You could cut out the black sections of the sidewall tape and just fold the white sections over the walls.

Credit to my wife for suggesting this. Blue painters tape to mask. Pro tip: already one inch wide. And heat resistant white enamel spray. She saved me hours.

Nice job on the team effort [emoji1303]
