Dont bother With tape. Get some velo plugs.
Those Wheels look very nice indeed.
I'd just get some valve extenders. The ones that you swap the valve core into. Install With a wrap of plumbers tape, and they'll be great.
I thought I'd be clever and use the Topeak extender that you screw in each time you want to pump Your tyres up. This leaves the original valve inside the rim, and not rattling in the valve hole. But I destroyed 2 now. The first after using twice, and the second on the first use. Luckily they havent lasted long enough to take on a ride.
...Which reminds me. Put a strip of black electrical tape around the valve where meets the rim. The rattling can be super annoying.
