Nice, how did you do it? I was told if I want something like this painted - it's going to be expensive because of all the masking is needed.

They are called rim blades...They also nicely cover up curb rash and prevent future bumps. They stick on and come with promoter. I would recommend buying the original rim blades as the chinese knock-offs don't stick nearly as well.

I saw these or something like them a while ago and it looked kind of tacked-on, and not in a good way.

I'd assume applying those requires a rebalancing afterwards? Which model did you choose?

I actually installed them on the tire mounting machine before seating the bead...Came out amazing compared to the same job on my C5 corvette while on the car.

I also got 4 compliments just today.

Does these come off easily when you want to remove them?

You might check the website - they have a FAQ...

mastertvtech - which ones did you use. They seem to have 5 different models now. I'm thinking of using silver to protect the edges of my 958 sport-design-turbo wheels.. they are real curb magnets, and at $150/each to get them repaired it can get expensive fast. The wheels I have are a flat edged design - with the wheel in black and the edge in silver. I was thinking the thin ones they make probably wouldn't even be noticeable - which would be a good thing IMHO.

"Remove by pulling at a 45 degree angle. Soak the tape residue in our VHB cleaner and it will turn it into an easy to remove jelly wiped off in minutes."
