I saw this NASCAR photo in R&T and noticed the fluorescent green straps that seem to be coming out of the wheel centers and kind of just flap around and go under the fender... what are those for?

I bet it's tape or paint to line up the lugs for the tire carrier/changer.

Hub marked? Or line up off previous tire? Or one stud is colored?

Mostly when the tire changer starts hitting the nuts with his gun he knows where he starts & stops.

Ok - that response makes sense.
