Rim blades.

[Grumps]

I trashed one of my alloys last season and I'm not in a position to spend at the moment as I would need to get two done to get a good match. I'm thinking of putting a set of rim blades on for now to cover the damage.
Anyone got a set fitted that could post a pic?
Tar all.

@gookah has them.
I'm thinking of silver or grey ones, can't stand kerbing my 18's again (had them refurbed and clipped them soon after, Sod's law!).

Ooh that also bodes the question Dino! What colour against my wheels?

I'd be tempted to try and match the paint if not silver/grey.

They've gone and made 4 different kinds now:

I'm looking for pics of actual silver/grey one but just see the CAD generated images

I have indeed @Antm72. But I can confirm they don't stand up to Derbyshire stone as I caught one of my rears on a small dry stone wall on a tight lane in a ford when we were out on one of @Mint's runs.
It just scraped it off and damaged the wheel .
Not tested them against a usual curb stone yet,hope not to.

@Grumpy I think you'll struggle to get an exact colour match with your wheels tbh as yours are nice and shiny. Perhaps a complete contrast in colour would look ok......day glow orange ? .

Have you got a pic @Bozzy?
And as for orange.............Go **** ******** ***** *&&€€ ¥¥¥%%$$$$$!!!!!

The blue is too light against your paint - If you don;t want to go for a contrast I'd think about black. It wouldn't detract from the paint or the wheels.

Here you are @Grumpy

If you enlarge the pic they'll stand out better as they blend in with the wheels from a distance.

The only problem with black ones is they'll make the tyres look fatter than they are.

I just thought that myself Steve - was about to say what a stupid idea
Grey/silver is the way to go.

Are you trying to say go source some nice bright lime green ones for you instead ?

I rarely rim the wheels, but, have just agreed to buy a set of great looking 108s. Wouldn't want to spoil them when I put them on.

Can someone make some LED ones that light up and flash when the wheels start turning

No!

Thanks mate. Blue look great on yours against your calipers but definitely wouldn't suit mine.
