RIM BLADES

Postby blitzen75 » Sat Jun 15, 2013 9:40 pm

Thought i my have a try of these, have previously had a go at using motor bike wheel tape and pinstripe tape but wasn't happy with the result.
Have had them on for 5 weeks now and am happy with them so far, and i think the adhesion is not going to let go any time soon.
Always thought that black wheels and tyres combination need a bit of a visual break between them. cheers.

Quite nifty idea. Pondering how it'll fare on sprayed wheels when removed.

If painted correctly there should be no problem, after all its only a glorified double sided tape with a primer solution.

Bit exxy compared to a pinstripe lol. Looks good though, might consider it when my pinstripe starts aging. What's it made from to stop future gutter damage?

Made from rubber which is a few mm thick so gives a nice 3d look, cant see that they would protect from gutter rash very well but they will hide any previous minor gutter damage.
They are good bright colours too as i found some pinstripe tapes are a bit wishy washy, and are a lot easier to achieve a good curve when applying.
