Great video thankyou. I'm looking to get some rimblades.
Can you tell me if they will also protect a plasti dipped wheel when changing a tyre? Or would you have to remove the rimblade first? Many thanks
Hi. Can you advise what rimblade I need. I have a Mercedes A35. It has slightly square rims. Flat I guess you call that. I’ve ordered an originals pack, but that might be wrong. Any help would be great 😊.
What would be best for the 2024 Tesla M3 standard wheels for maximum protection? Rimsavers, Rimblades Ultra, Scuffs Ultra?
Thanks for the product portfolio demo. For me it's either the Scuff Ultra or the PRO rim for a set of 19 inch AMG turbine alloys found on a handful of Merc's though for me specifically, a 2016 CLS W218.
What shall I go for @rimblades? Ultra or Pro? I'd say the rim edges on my wheels are 'flat' so PRO may do the job , but I'm veering In the direction of ULTRA because the lip edge. It can be tucked round the corners of the alloy providing a bridge between the tyre and alloy itself...
...I may have answered my own question!
Cheers
Hi Amar. Thanks for watching the video. The Rimblades Pro will fit and my other suggestion would be Rimsavers.
@@Rimblades cheers for the response. Nice one .
Rim savers ordered! I will be able to go off road now ! Hahah. Just kidding .
Nice introduction, thanks! Which ones will fit on an BMW i3s best?
As the i3S uses a flat diamond cut rim, they all fit.
Rimblades thanks for answering. I’d like to use them more because of the optic than the protection.
@@celestinak8060 They all offer style & protection. Check out our other brand www.rimsavers.com as these are popular with i3 owners.

What would fit my 18 wheels on my MB C300 sport
How long can rimguards stay on a wheel without peeling off when applied correctly. I have some already curbed wheels and would like to use these to hide them. I will sand down the curbed sections to create a smooth enough surface for the sticky tape to stick to strongly.
That is a good question. Longest we've known is 10 years, but plenty of customers have had them fitted 5 to 7 years, but depends how much car is used and how often tyres changed. They should last lifetime of tyres if properly fitted on a sound surface well prepared surface.
thanks it's very good comparison and explains differences, but I think you changed your offering since. I can't see Scuff option any longer and there's Rimblades Ultra that look similar. However you seems to position them differently also, as it appears Rimsavers have High protection whereas Originals and Ultra just Good - so which one is better then?
Hi Zoe Zebra. This video is quite old now. Everything has been improved, retooled and updated since this. We do still use our Scuffs brand for exports to Europe as the box is multi language printed, but you are correct Rimblades Ultra is now the same profile, but we now make it from a harder & stronger grade of Santopene. Rimblades Flex is now Rimblades Original. Trims4Rims is now Rimblades Light, but again much higher quality than back then. Rimsavers are only mildly updated since that video, but due for a major update this year. Danny Dog!!
@@Rimblades awesome, thanks very much!
@@Rimblades Do you have a time estimate for the Rimsavers update? I have flat wheels. Should I order the Rimblades Ultra or wait for the Rimsavers update? Not sure if the Rimblades Ultra will fit.
@@dweawyn Rimblades Ultra & Rimsavers both require a flat mounting surface so if one will fit so will the other. No exact timings yet on the new Rimsavers. Trying to get the production tooling sorted at present, so be at least 8 weeks.
@@Rimbladesthanks!
Hi I have an alfa romeo spider 19 inch rims curve edged
I have tried some of the cheaper trims they won't stick the rim comes off
What do you suggest I use?
Thanks James
Hi James. We do a couple of products for curbed edge rims both DIY and pro fit types. Best thing is to contact me through www.rimblades.com
would rather see the product attaching to the lip of the rim rather than looking at your hands.....
We are having a new higher quality video filmed next month.
Thanks, may I know which one fits best for Honda Accord Sports 2019 I'm planning for Pro One
Could you email us with pics of the wheels.
I’m looking for the same lol
Hey men i just want to ask which product did they recommended on yours?
I have a couple of questions. Firstly does this interfere with tyre fitting? Secondly how are they removed when it comes time to replace the strips or sell the car?
Hi Richard. Those are valid points. Best practice is to install a new Rimblades when a tyre is changed. A tyre can be changed with them in place, but this is dependant on the skill of the tyre fitter. However if they break the seal, it could result in a failure after, so to prevent this happening we say best practice is to change for a new Rimblades.
We do sell single wheel kits if for example you get a puncture (or kerb 1) and a cleaner to get the old tape off really easily as if it were never there.
I too was wondering how these would last if you had to change a tire......would you need to re-fit a Rimblade?
We do suggest this as best practice, but sell a VHB tape remover to make this a fast & easy task.
Do you have to replace every time you replace your tires?
We do suggest this as best practice, but sell a VHB tape remover to make this a fast & easy task.
Hi, I’ve just ordered a new 3DR Mini Cooper Sport. 17inch alloys. Which type will offer best protection? Thanks
Hi Louis. Mini's have a big range of wheel options and these can vary between markets,
Best thing is to contact us through our website.
@@Rimblades My wheels are the 17” JCW Track Sports. Thanks
@@loutube99able Thanks. The 17" JCW Track Spoke rims have a very small fitting area for the stick on style products, so we'd recommend our top of the range pro fit product called Rimfinity. See www.rimfinity.co.uk
Went onto your website - are you not selling the Pro anymore?
Unfortunately not. We have made Rimsavers stronger though instead.
You have no videos on how to.install the pro series.. can u make one? Trying to figure it out
We are not doing the Rimblades Pro anymore- is it that type you have?
Which one of these would be best for the Astra 2015 wheels?
Rimblades Original are the most universal fitting.
Do you offer anything for ceramic coated carbon fiber wheels?
We get really mixed results on ceramic coated rims. Some customers get no issues whilst others can't get a bond. We suggest cleaning off the coating for a width of 6mm on rim edge to ensure a good fit if using our stick on products, but we also do a pro install tyre trap version depending on rim size at www.rimfinity.co.uk
Those rimblades comes on set of 4 or I need to buy by separately ?
They come as a kit including a set of 4, but we also sell single wheel kits if needed should you damage one and need to replace it.
Does it take hard to take the adhesive tape when replacing? Thanks
We sell our own glue remover that we had developed that destroys the 3M bond making the swap really easy.
@@Rimblades ok many thanks. Ive just put them on saturday looks great
Hi can i add rim protector on plastic dip wheelsor would they pull the rubber dip off
Depends if you mean Plasti dip from a can that you spray on yourself (it will pull this off) or properly powered coated wheels, which will be fine. Thanks
@@Rimblades its plastic dip from a can should i just cut around the dip with a blade so the rim protector goes to the actual alloy insted my dipped wheels are soild dip from the can if that makes sense
@@parmindersidhu9690 Yes would need to bond to a sound surface. With plastic dip & home painted rims, the Rimblades will bond to the paint, but if paint not properly bonded to rim surface it will let go and come off.
Which would be best for Honda EP3 Type R wheels?
As they have a rounded top edge our Rimblades Original are the best. These are a new version of our original design. Available only on our website.
Do these stain rims im about to buy rpf1 and don't want to install then when I replace and glue damage on rim or will this not do that?
We have our own cleaner that safely removes all trace of them with no marks or staining.
@@Rimblades do you have a customer service number to talk more about your products?
@@ronaldrodriguez189 We do indeed. It's on our website www.rimblades.com
How durable are these, if I did hit the wheel wouldn't they just rip straight off?
They are designed to a sacrificial barrier.
Great video, which one will fit for camry 2014?
Could you contact us through rimblades.com and send a pic of the wheels in question. Thanks
What kind of rims are in the picture of the video I can't find them anywhere
The one on left of picture stood up or the one being worked on?
On Left
@@mrcwatimean2 They were a 4 x 98 wheel for Alfa Romeo or Fiat.
do you do these to fit motorcycle wheels?
Hi Gus. Yes they will. We get loads of customers using them on motorcycles.
Which one will fit Honda Accord 2021?
Rimsavers if they are the diamond cut version.
I have a toyota yaris gr 261 ch which would be best for me
Rimblades Original are most suitable as the fitting area is quite small and not flat.
so which one trim blade is the best choice?
They each have their own merits. Rimblades Light are good value. Pro offer most protection, Ultra are most flexible.
HELP ----- One of mine came off so I decided to replace all 4........ in heavens name how on earth do you get the old sticky, solid glue off the alloys before putting the new ones on ??????

How long do they last
Depends. We had a guy last week buy a new set who fitted his in 2012. On average we say 2 years.
which ones for a dodge charger rt I think I bought the wrong ones I bought the pro smh
The Pro only fit a totally flat wheel surface as they are a rigid hard plastic. We can exchange ok.
@@Rimblades yes thank you so much I just got them in and don't know how to return them here's my email address can you send me the info on how to return cjonesforever@gmail.com
@@thegreatlaflare Did you get our email ok?
Will they come off when the wheels get jet washed clean though?
No not at all. They are jet wash safe. I jet wash my car with them fitted weekly.
How many sets are needed for rims on a Chrysler 300 2005
@@juan2hunnitdat97baby9 One set includes a set of 4.
Tesla M3P UberTurbines? How about alloygators?
We find customers like the Rimsavers or Rimblades Ultra on the UberTurbines. I can't comment on Alloygators as it's not my product.
Hi there is this plastic?
Yes
The glue is strong ? Because then they come off and is a waste of money
We use a 3M adhesion adhesion promoter with the VHB tape to greatly increase the tape bond, but the wheel does need to be cleaned properly prior to fitting. If instructions are followed they will bond very well.
Hard to see you putting the rimblade against the wheel with your hand in the way.
This video is a bit out of date now. Trims4Rims been replaced by Rimblades Light. Rimblades Flex replaced by Rimblades Original. We have more videos on our website www.rimblades.com
Just had my 16" Golf wheels refurbished at £150/wheel and have tnow hought how can I prevent any new corrosion after scuffs have been looking on TH-cam etc.
Do Rimblades offer corrosion protection, ie water ingress behind the plastic protector? I watched this video and the conclusion was that corrosion appeared using alloygator protectectors after about 12 months.
th-cam.com/video/y1wDZF_qKxs/w-d-xo.html
Would appreciate your view on protectors re corrosion, thanks.
This look like you're trying to sell the air on earth... 😢😢😢😢
wouldnt this shit just fall off?
Not if installed properly. The power of 3M adhesives is incredible if the surface of the wheel is properly prepared.
Is the music necessary? And rather than explaining why not demonstrate?
This is an explainer, although a bit out of date now as range updated. We do have fitting videos as well. Regards.
