ABOUT RIMBLADES
THE ORIGINAL STICK ON RIM PROTECTOR THAT STARTED OUR COMPANY IS BACK FOR 2023. THESE USED TO BE CALLED JUST RIMBLADES MANY YEARS AGO WHEN WE FIRST STARTED AND ARE OUR OWN ORIGINAL DESIGN, WHICH HAS BEEN COPIED BY MANY, BUT NEVER EQUALLED IN TERMS OF QUALITY. AN OFFSET CURVED RIM PROTECTOR THAT IS TRULY UNIVERSAL FITTING AND FITS ANY WHEEL RIM WITH A CONTINUOUS MOUNTING SURFACE. THE ORIGINAL AND FIRST MASS PRODUCED ADHESIVE RIM PROTECTOR AND THE ONE THAT STARTED A GLOBAL TREND.
Brand new tooling for 2023, new material, new tape and due to numerous requests for such, we’ve added a joint cover that bonds to the area where they are cut to size for a professional looking finish. Rimblades Original are a great value product designed to offer alloy rim protection from light kerb impact at parking speeds and additionally as a colour trim ring styling upgrade or to cover existing damage on your alloy wheels. They also offer a good amount of wheel protection against small road debris (flying gravel chips, for example) and parking scrapes.
About
UNIVERSAL FITTING
Due to the unique patented profile, Rimblades Original are conformable to a multitude of different wheel shapes (although they do require a continuous surface). Rimblades Original require cutting to size during each application, and are supplied in 4 x 2.1 metre lengths and will fit wheels up to and including 24” in diameter.
HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS
Rimblades Original are manufactured from Santoprene by Exxon Mobil, which is from the TPV family of materials, so although technically a plastic, it has the look & feel of a high quality rubber. Santoprene is a very expensive raw material costing triple that of normal plastics.
CONSTRUCTION
Rimblades Original have a thin wire core running through the centre of the profile to prevent the wheel rim protector from ever stretching or shrinking due to extreme temperatures. Rimblades Original are factory fitted with a genuine 3M Automotive grade VHB (Very High Bond) tape with an orange heavy duty liner.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Rimblades WILL NOT bond to silicone on the rims from tyre shine dressings. 99% of Rimblades failures are caused by tyre shine and people not following this simple instruction. If you have a new car from a dealership or your car is detailed regularly you will also NEED our silicone tyre shine remover or they WILL fall off. We cannot stress how important this is.

Second time I have used these
Fitted to my Jaguar XJ. The fitting is super easy, just follow the prep to the letter, and don’t neglect any steps and you will have no problems. Super product, reasonable priced.

Plastic stock on protectors need to cut to size and stick firmly before use
Oversized individual lengths that will need cutting to exact size at the end, scissors will do fine and a neat finishing plastic piece to hide any imperfect joint superglued on after. The importance of scrupulously cleaning the wheels first and using the chemical wipe to ensure a secure bond is not to be underestimated. I let the protectors gradually cure over a couple of days before putting the wheels back on the care just to be sure, they seems firmly attached but have managed to avoid scraping them on a kerb yet, time will tell!

Very good kit
I’ve had the previous version, I’ve tried AlloyGators but this looks like it could be the best set of protectors so far. The kit has everything you need (except a knife) and the addition of the join covers gives me more confidence that they’ll stay on the wheel for a long time.

Second set
Iâm having new tyres fitted all round so thought I would buy a new set of these Iâve had rim blades fitted to my car for about 4 years now and had noProblem with them they are great like many have said as long as you follow the instructions to the letter they work great I have the advantage of being able to fit themThen not use the car for a week so it gives them a good time to stick to the wheels if these work as well as my first set I will be very happy plus have saved my wheels a few times as well so good value for money cheaper to buy theses than keep getting wheels refurbished

Rimblade or Alloygators?
I ordered a replacement full set as I needed one for my front nearside wheel which I kerb. I felt it was un- economic to buy a set of two Rimblades. I was shocked to find that the plastic Rimblade detach itself from the wheel and as a consequence the alloy wheel was damaged. I have Alloygators on another car and although I have kerb these on very few occasions, the Alloygator has protected the wheel and only scuffed the rubber of the Alloygator. I will replace the Rimblades at a later date for Alloygators.

Très bon produit. Protège bien le bord de mes jantes et donne une note de couleur en plus.Il faut vraiment avoir des jantes super propres avant la pause si vous voulez que ça tienne. Autoroute, lavage au jet, rien ne bouge.

Ne sert a rien, au premier accroc de ma jante sur un trottoir, le Rimblade s’est complètement déchiré et ma jante est aussi abimée que si il n’y avait aucune protection
