This type of alloy wheel damage is widespread - so what do you need to do to avoid paying out for such costs? How to Prevent Alloy Wheel Kerb Damage R.R. – First, thank you for your review. Second, while it’s possible that your specific wheels are incompatible with RimSavers, most of the problems people have with adhesive are related to silicone based tire shine. This is the most common type of tire shine, and – unfortunately – just a few molecules of silicone will cause bonding problems between the wheel and the adhesive we use on our product (which is the same adhesive used to attach wheel weights – heavy-duty stuff). These look great and are relatively easy to put on. There are plenty of helpful videos but definitely take your time. It will be well worth it. I put silver RimBlades on my 2020 Tesla M3 with 19” wheels. The color matches really well and you have to come pretty close and be looking for it to even tell. Adam in customer service was helpful when there was a question. I wish customer service at my internet provider was this helpful. Oh well, at least my wheels look great. Our test looked at how easy each was to fit, then we rated the protection the products offered by driving very slowly along the same stretch of kerb, noting any scuff marks to each protector or alloy wheel. Cost was the final factor. Still, it sounds like you cleaned the wheels very carefully before installation, so it may be that the issue is something other than a bit of tire shine contamination. It’s hard to say without knowing more.

Rimblades® Rimsavers - Full Kit

Rimsavers are made from a near rigid plastic, that if it wasn’t made in such a thin design would appear as a hard plastic. It gets its flexibility from the thin lightweight design profile. Rimsavers are a bond on solution and have a semi-gloss smooth appearance that brake dust wipes straight off. Rimsavers have a stiff fitting guide lip on the top side and the 3M VHB (very high bond) tape is sealed from the weather, brake dust, road salt and wheel cleaners by a sealing lip. BOND ON UNIVERSAL FITTING Alloy kerb damage is no laughing matter. Your alloys are not only gorgeous to look at, but they’re also amazingly protective. But did you know they’re at risk of getting seriously damaged on and off the kerb? Let’s take a look. Alloy Wheel AdvantagesThe alloy gators don't use any adhesive on the wheel itself there are metal clips that fit on the gator and in between the tyre n wheel, adhesive is used to secure a plastic cover over the 2 edges were they meet once fitted to the wheel. There spot on. I hadn't hem on my swift for about 2 years. Gave excellent protection. When took them off last week not a mark on the wheel but gators were slightly scuffed. Hope this helps In all honesty, the product looks great and will do the job as advertised. If they work for you, that’s great. For me, I’ll just make sure I keep away from the curb rash.

I Definitely recommend products and support.. Thank You for a pleasant experience.. Was looking around and came across rimblades - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_922523_langId_-1_categoryId_246902 Due to the unique patented profile, Rimblades® Original are conformable to a multitude of different wheel shapes (although they do require a continuous surface). I did not drive the vehicle for 48 hours to make sure the everything was dry. Took the Alfa on the road. After 30 minuted or so, the first one came off. Pulled into a lot, a second one was loose, so I took it off. On the way home a third one flew off the wheel. Full transparency, I was doing 60 MPH. Our unique patented universal fitting design curves around the top edge of the wheel rim to offer protection from both kerb and pothole damage.
