Rimblades Light Alloy Wheel Rim Protectors – DELUXE KIT (9

 

So far so good..

I have received a lot of negative reports about these flying off and damaging wings and paintwork – Time will tell.

A few comments which might help.

1. When applying the Alcohol Gel – The instructions suggest using a generous amount on the sponge whereas the bottle says use sparingly !! – To be honest I did not see the relevance of the Alcohol Gel – a couple of additional alcohol wipes would have sufficed (and cheaper too)

2. I found that putting the rim covers / strips in a warm place before applying helps with the manipulation of them when applying them wheels.

3. The Superglue they use to secure the Cover Caps is instant and on the first wheel I massaged to get my fingers stuck together and to a yellow cloth I had ready. Having learnt from this experience I decided to stick the cover onto the end of a pen using Blue Tack – I then applied the superglue to the cover and then offered it up the ends of the rim protectors – Success!!

In all honesty I think they look absolutely fabulous!! – Nice price too !
