Nope, but try making a very segmented flat poly like this:

... save it, then BEND it into a FLAT ring like the spokes of a
bike wheel and save it for a morph target.
Map the straight version with the Grid texture (=1 with falloff) on the
TX channel to make a feathered stripe down the center length. When
morphed 100% to the ring, the stripe will also bend 360 degrees.
Position the morphed ring and use SIZE to expand it in conjunction
with a dissolve envelope. CLONE several and SHIFT the motion
and dissolve env. keys so they all follow after one another. Play
with Grid falloff to vary the width of the stripe and the other surface
channels to further texture the stripe.
Just my unproven, untested suggestion that's nearly guaranteed to
work (he he he)
