Expertly designed to protect alloy wheels. Performance, colour & style. Outstanding high speed performance. Assured quality = customer satisfaction. Rimsavers are designed to add a lightweight trim ring to the outer edge of alloy wheels to act as a buffer when that inevitable kerb damage does occur. Supplied in a choice of 12 colours to either blend into the wheel for a stealthy appearance or contrast it in a bright colour for that race car look. Through our rigorous testing, Rimsavers consistently achieved outstanding performance at high speed which makes this our most premium alloy wheel protector. Rimsavers are lightweight, which reduces rotational mass and by using an advanced, immensely strong plastic polymer a perfect sacrificial barrier is created, perfectly covering the alloy wheel edge. Our Rimsavers kit includes the highest ever, quality wheel preparation kit, comprising of 3M IPA wipes and 3M 06396 adhesion promoters and superb retail packaging that fully protects the product in transit. All component parts on the Rimsavers kit are supplied by 3M to ensure consistent quality throughout.
Note: If tyre shine silicone sprays have been used previously, please use shine remover (not included) to properly prepare the wheel rim surface for bonding.

So far so good
Was sceptical about these but thought i’d give them a shot. was fitted on some 22” axe ex30 they was only a week old and had already had one small curb mark. other than that was perfectly fresh. its been over a week and they are holding on very firmly. I do not think they would protect the rim too much from damage but maybe abit. one decent curbing and im expecting them to come off. but they have covered up the small bit of damage and im really happy with them. barely noticable on my rims. i drive at 90-100mph alot and they’ve held up well. i can only think people are trying to stick them on battered alloys which is why they’re coming off. i will update this if they come off anytime soon. if your alloys are badly damaged these are not the product for you as they just wont stick. im hoping it protects them abit and if they come off i can cover up the little bit of damage with themUPDATE: alloy took a small curb hit and sustained large damage. rim saver did nothing to protect the alloy. its not hanging off. will smooth off the damage and apply another one to hide it and hope it works. My tyres are extremely thin 25 profile i expected this to happenUPDATE 2: its been abouut a month since i applied the second one to a damage rim. it covers the damage well and ive had no issues with them coming off. I will keep applying if the alloys get curbed again. i like the product and beats staring at the damage all the time.

Easy to fit – Time will tell!
Bought these to fit to a set of 18′ Pretorias for the Golf.Installation was easy enough, although the provided instructions are adequate it’s far easier to watch a YouTube video on how to install. The adhesion of the strip combined with the primer you’re given seem to be doing a good job of keeping the rubber stuck to the rim, I have no concerns with it peeling away without some form of impact i.e. significant curbing.I do have a few gripes with the kit however. The rubber is actually somewhat thin, I can’t speak for how much protection this would actually provided in the case of an incident, I expect you’d make light contact and correct what you’ve done with the rimkit providing enough protection in that case to not cause damage. Any damage beyond “light” I imagine would simply damage the kit and the rim but that remains to be seen.The provided superglue provided does not seem to dry clear so if you add too much on the cap it may be seen in the area where you apply the cap therefore I would advise on obtaining your own glue to reduce the risk of seeing the glue.28/10/2021: Had them fitted to the car and the day finally came, was forced against a curb. Rimsavers may have offered some protection however the plastic has split in several areas with some noticeable damage to the wheel after a short touch with the curb.Personally, will need to buy another set now just to get 1 that I can use to replace the damaged one which should hide the damage on the wheel without needing a refurb. That’s the main use I see for this, not necessarily protection.

Wheel Protection
Excellent product, easy to fits & protects the wheels great
W Cheung –
Doesnât protect your alloys.
Unfortunately these rim protectors are pointless as they offer little to no protection. They are easy to put on but very difficult and messy to take off leaving sticky residue. The photo show the result of a slight rubbing against the kerb and the rimsaver did nothing. At best you can put it on to hide scuffs and rashes but donât expect any protection as you will be disappointed.

Looks ok I may buy it again
Received a black one instead of red & it was mostly missing as I only had enough to go round one wheelReturned it & have since scratched my wheel while parking so I may try order again.I think it needs glue to fit it but Iâm not sure if it comes with that as I suspect the product was not complete when I got it

Easy to install, looks great and has stopped damage!
Got them for my Tesla Model Y Performance that has VERY low profile tires with no protection to the rim. Simple poor quality UK roads and pot holes were damaging the rims and since fitting this I’ve had no more issues. I can’t even see any damage on the plastic and the old rim damage is fully covered!

A must
A must have item for all driving instructors with alloy wheels

Better then expected
Very impressed with this product. For the price I think itâs more then worth it. Itâs not the thickest so donât expect it to keep them pristine if you run the kerb but will help against little nicks. Easy to apply and very sticky. Only downside is it should come with disposable gloves as it advises you to wear them for the prep.

Portata la vettura al lavaggio.Poi passati i cerchi con le salviettine in dotazione (quelle per la pulizia).Quindi passati di nuovo con le salviettine in dotazione per favorire l’incollaggio.Scaldati leggermente i cerchi (temperatura esterna di circa 10 gradi) con la pistola termica.Applicata la striscia protettiva (non così facilmente modellabile) e ripetuto il riscaldamento (leggero) con la pistola termica esercitando una pressione lungo tutta la circonferenza.Quindi tagliata la striscia alla giusta lunghezza facendo coincidere l’inizio e la fine.A questo punto incollare (il tubetto è in dotazione) la guarnizione di finitura sopra la giunzione.Fatto riposare per la nottata.Dopo due settimane è ancora tutto in posizione.Aggiornerò in seguito.

Really easy to install and look great. Bought them to cover up curb rash from the previous owner and they did a wonderful job. Been on for a week and have not come loose. The kit included alcohol and adhesive promotor wipes to help with install so that was very convenient.
Client d’Amazon –
Lâoriginal a une largeur moins élevée, il a aussi du scotch 3M avec une bande rouge à enlever.Apres avoir fait trois jantes avec celui quâil me rester du site rimblade, jâai ouvert celui achetté sur Amazon et câétait la déception de devoir tout refaire avec une copie. Câest beaucoup moins jolie et la partir quâont colle pour joindre les deux parties coupées nâest pas adapté.En gros rimblade est en rupture, câest ptet la raison. Pour Amazon ils ont pris un peu du vrai produit et un peu dâun autre fournisseur dans la meme boite qui correspond bien au paquet dâorigine. Câest tromper lâacheteur!!!!Je vous déconseilles donc de commander ici et dâattendre plutot que rimblade ce réapprovisionne sur son site. Meme si il est possible que Rimblade soir le fautif de cette manipulation malhonnête vis à vis du client et de sont fournisseur Amazon.

Fitted this product to the wheels for several months. The first time they came in contact with a curb the plastic broke free from the rim and offered little to no protection.It can also be difficult to fit unless the weather is warm.If they come loose they can damage the car’s paintwork.Ours come loose at highway speed and the rear door and quarter panel needed a cut and polish to remove the marks it left. A wheel would cost less to replace than the paint damage this could potentially cause!

Devo dire che una volta montati se si fa attenzione fanno la loro porca figura. Speriamo che anche da un punto di vista funzionale siamo competitivi visto che non sono proprio economici e pensare di vederli volare in autostrada appena so accelera un poâ proprio non mi va!! Non appena li avrò provato in strada farò una integrazione della recensione.. per ora spero ð¤
