Purchased some of these after I had my AMG wheels refurbished and painted gloss black, caught the curb last week and there is not a mark on my wheel. Removed the protector with a little heat, purchased a second full set so I have some spares, good to go again. Was very dubious how protective they would be, but they did their job 100% 👌🏻
@@toppertruthio nothing yet. Been on for a good couple of months now, washed the car multiple time as well. I took my time applying them and followed the instructions to the letter so that may be the difference if others complain of them coming off 👍🏻
@@toppertruthio Yes they peel off but that maybe because the surface was not properly prepared prior to fixing. Without heat they are an utter pain to remove.
I’m just about to do mine! Also with the wipes iv got 4 sachets of glue....? But I see you haven’t used any glue on yours? Shall I use the glue or just clean with the wipes and attach?
Good video and this stuff works! Try it before you talk rubbish about it used it on 20"x10.5 rims used black and took a good curb rash by my wife just peeled the rubber off and not a scratch!
How well does the adhesive hold up from weather and heat? It gets very hot where I live and I'm concerned about the strips falling off or fading over time.
It does not get too hot here in England occasionally 30 odd degrees but mine were as good after 3 years as when I fitted them I thoroughly recommend them for what they cost they give real peace of mind.
Hi David. Our kits include the 3M adhesion promoter as standard. Did you buy a genuine product or a Chinese copy that often don't come with it as its too expensive and they just then fall off? We sell the primer packs here: rimblades.com/collections/rimblades-spare-shop/products/primer-pack
They can get damaged by tyre fitters so best practice is to change them at this time, but we sell single wheel kits and a special cleaner to remove the old tape really quickly. Balance weight need to be the stick on type rather than older hammer on type.
These use a 3M VHB double side tape & 3M adhesion promoter so super glue not required, but we do include an extra glue if you buy the kit option with the joint cap cover.
Ive bought these after scuffing one of my alloys slightly while driving my new car home after picking it up last week 😢 went too close to a curb. The alloys are so beautiful too . Things happen i guess so i searched to see what i could get to protect them and i was originally going to get an alloy repair kit but a guy suggested it would be easier getting these so ive bought these after reading the feedback from other buyers. This video was short and to the point and i feel confident i can do this . I stuck with black as i wont be able to see them anyway 😅. My cars going to need washed . Im aware putting these on a dry day is the way to go . Am i ok to wash my car first but not put any product on my alloys or am i bedt to put rims on and wash car in day or 2 afterwards? X
Wash & dry wheels first. If tyre shine present remove this then use wipes in kit. If you contact me direct I'll send you a sheet with detailed instructions.
They are 7mm wide. Alot of customers buy black to cover the polished lip on the AMG wheels. If you have the newer AMG wheels though with a rounded off top edge you need our Rimblades Original version.
Yes they can. The rim surface needs to be dry & contaminant free though. We suggest a hot air gun (or hairdryer) to ensure surface is free of moisture.
That's actually color keyed door edge guard I have installed that on thousands of cars over the years. never thought bout installing it on wheels though...Good Idea
@@Highlander1518 We are re-launching Rimblades Flex due to popular demand which are a rounded profile, but no stock yet. Be a few weeks. Drop me a direct contact through rimblades.com and I'll let you know when back in stock.
In your opinion, what color stripes would look best with a White Subaru WRX Car with dark Bronze Rims? What stripe size should I get? Because my rims sticks out.
Should take about 10 mins per wheel. Will cover up some damage within reason. If you want to contact me through our website www.rimblades.com and send a pic of how bad damage is, I can give proper advice.
@@Rimbladeswould you mind if I send a photo of my damage please and I don't even know if they're chrome alloys ? They never said when I picked it up .
hey I have a question, I heard that you have to use a blow dryer to get the tape to like 70-80 degrees celsius, and I'm just wondering when do you blow dry it, when you put the strip on or before you put the strip on?
Yes if properly fitted no issues. However if it is the type with guard rails and you hit the guard rails likewise with a kerb they may need to be replaced.
@@CR7Update We suggest that is best practice in case the tire fitter accidentally breaks the 3M bond causing a later highway failure. We do our own cleaner to get the old adhesive off easily, so it's a quick and straightforward job.
I recently installed these on my 2016 Orange Mustang. Gives the wheels just the right look. Nothing good to say haters keep it to yourselves. Figured I would beat you to it LOL
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.
dude if u hit a curb. it will go right through that shit. hmmm....3000 lbs car meets concrete curb. ya some foam strip tape will make it bounce right back!

100,000 worth of bands. Thanks friend.
would that need to be replaced every time the tires get replaced? I would think the tire machine would break that off.

Will it get damaged while changing the tyre, and can you stick it on rims with wheel balance weights?
They can get damaged by tyre fitters so best practice is to change them at this time, but we sell single wheel kits and a special cleaner to remove the old tape really quickly. Balance weight need to be the stick on type rather than older hammer on type.
@@Rimblades Thanks a lot.
Nice job & car thanks❤
Now you can curb your wheels at 2-3 times the speed you normally do
What will happen to the strips if the tires are changed from winter to summer tires or vice versa?
It depends on the tyre fitter, but best practice is to swap for new ones at this time.
No super glue needed? What you get with it also when car cleaned?
These use a 3M VHB double side tape & 3M adhesion promoter so super glue not required, but we do include an extra glue if you buy the kit option with the joint cap cover.
Helpful, thanks 👍🏼
How long does the adhesive stay sticky over the seasons?
Mate it doesn't it will come off over washes etc and then fly off altogether!
About 2 days....

how thick is the rim? can it cover the mercedes amg rim diamond suit?
They are 7mm wide. Alot of customers buy black to cover the polished lip on the AMG wheels. If you have the newer AMG wheels though with a rounded off top edge you need our Rimblades Original version.
What about vibration in steering wheel on high speed? Can cause issue??? This is Additional weight on wheels
Never thought about that, huh🤔
i ca drive the car just right after i done ??
or should i wait for a while ?
Sultan MDN : wait 2 years. You can drive now ....
Can you apply these on top of plastidip?
Nate Yes u can but they will come off if u gonna remove the dip ofcourse
Saludos me gustaria saber donde conseguir.
Thanks for the vid.
Nice background tune.

Can this be install during winter time?
Yes they can. The rim surface needs to be dry & contaminant free though. We suggest a hot air gun (or hairdryer) to ensure surface is free of moisture.
Someone needs to put this to the test ....more of a decoration than protecting ....
Is that available in new zealand auckland? How much for 4 tires
Reagan jade Rodriguez .$245 each one ☝️
How about pressure washing the wheels? does it come off?
No they are fine.
Is 20ft enough for all 4 rims on size 19inch
We supply these in a set of 4 x 1.9 metre strips that fit 4 wheels up to 22" so 19" be fine.
Great product and sure it will scuff off, but much less $$$ than new wheels. Also, I jacked up each wheel for an easier install.
just red color??
Wow, I need this product ASAp. So good looking and useful. Can I use this video for my compilation? I'll fully credit you.
Thanks. Glad you like them.

Does heat help activate the adhesive?
Not required with our product as we include a 3M adhesion promoter that turbo boosts the tape bond.
Does this stick well over curb rash?
Depends on how bad it is, but they will within reason. Best thing is to contact me through www.rimblades.com and send me some pics of damage.
Guys are these ok for a Civic Type R FK8? I’m sick of curbing my alloys so after a refurb I’m gonna look at installing these
They don't fit the FK8 wheels as they have an indented lip with the red painted band, so lip is really narrow then drops inward.
@@Rimblades Ahh that’s a real shame. Oh well, any alternatives?

What happens when you change the tyre?
:/
The tire can't be removed anymore, it becomes permanent.
the tyer can be change but the strips more likely to come off then u need to put new1 on ...
idiots
you are right in fact the tires will no longer rotate
So proof it works?
This is a toturial video not a proof that this works 🤔🤔
Where can i get those
Looks like a pound shop product
after put this, you need to recalibrate the wheels. i have same product on my car.
Thats not correct. The weight is equal around rim surface and weight is light so you should NOT need to get your wheels balanced after fitting.
Nice music
dude if u hit a curb. it will go right through that shit. hmmm....3000 lbs car meets concrete curb. ya some foam strip tape will make it bounce right back!
