RIM RINGZ Car Wheel Rim Protector, 19 - Sonic White
Product ID: 39755050
RIM RINGZ is a set of four rings that come in a variety of sizes and colors and can be attached to the edge of a car’s alloy wheel. They are made from high quality plastic, durable and resistant to all weather conditions. Each size of RIM RINGZ is specially designed for specific rim size. Because each size set is made to perfectly fit each size of the wheel, RIM RINGZ will perfectly fit your wheel. You just need to purchase the correct size of RIM RINGZ that matches your wheel size. You don’t need to use any type of glue to install RIM RINGZ. The purpose of RIM RINGZ is to: Protect the wheel from “curb rash” while parking or turning sharply out of a driveway Cover existing damage Add visual appeal to the car Help apply tire shine on your tires Available RIM RINGZ sizes - for rim size: 15”, 16”, 17”, 18”, 19” & 20”. RIM RINGZ seeks to address the problem of "curb rash" on rims (scratches/scraping/chips). Car rims are typically an expensive and important design element of a car and scratching them or having chipped edges detracts from the look, and it also creates an expense for the owner. In order to refinish the edges of a wheel, the cost can range from $125 to $200 per wheel, but that does not take into consideration that it can happen again and again. Moreover, if a car is leased, this expense will typically have to be incurred by the driver as the leasing company will want the rims to look presentable for the future sale of the car. RIM RINGZ seeks to minimize the need of having the rims refinished by protecting the rims against scratches. Instead of fixing the rims, you can simply and easily cover scrape marks with RIM RINGZ. Besides, you will no longer be annoyed with your scratched and damaged rims and no one will point their finger at you or your car, thinking that you are a bad driver who doesn’t know how to park and damages his expensive wheels.

Love these Ringz, once I figured out how to easily install them
Love these Rings ! They look great and are a nice protection for my rims. Made of a good durable feeling plastic. Plus, I had really fair treatment from the manufacturer when two of my rings broke when my tire installer installed the rings. BIG MISTAKE ! These rings are MUCH easier to install on the car versus on a tire machine and they fit much better when installed on the car.Here's how I did it easily. Place rings in the sun for about 20 minutes to soften them up and make them more playable. Drive the car until the tires are heated up, park the car and remove as much air without breaking the bead. Starting at the top (12 o'clock position) work the tabs in between the rim and tire using the provided "L" shaped tool. Do this by placing the tool on top of the tab, prying up the tire and pushing the tab in at the same time. I used two hands. My left hand pushed ring and thus tab in while my right hand used the tool to pry and lift the tire away from the rim. I did this working a few tabs in the clockwise direction than went back and did a few in the counter clock direction. when I had all the tabs pushed in from 9 o''clock to 3 o'clock, I moved the car to bring the part I had not completed to the top and kept going til I was done. After checking to make sure the rings where tight against my rims I refiled my tires back to the correct pressure. The rings have stayed in-place and I have had a few comments on how nice they look. The only negative I can say is that they need better instructions on how to install them , which I hope I have just provided.

Awesome product but difficult to install
These are the most expensive rim protection product out there as well as the most difficult to install. I honestly wasn't sure if these were going to be worth the $$$ after I bought them, and it took me a lot of elbow grease with the supplied tool and my fingers to muscle all of these tabs in (be prepared to spend some time to do this right!). However, that being said, now that they're installed I really like these rimringz a lot! They look great, are not soft rubber (unlike some of the other competitors which are instantly ruined if you scrape your rims), and most importantly they don't use any adhesive (those types make for an easier initial install but are an absolutely nightmare when it comes time to remove them or change your tires!) I used rim blades before, which also looked great and was much more effortless to install, but when I got new tires installed, the tire machine ripped them right off, leaving this horrible foam adhesive residue that was nearly impossible to completely get off my rims! If these actually hold up and stay on over time, I think these are definitely worth the price because they can be removed and installed again without leaving any sticky residue!

Disappointing
I really like the idea of these and wanted to love them, but there are a couple of design flaws that need to be worked out first. First and foremost, I love the concept... these ringz are one solid piece and you can install them without adhesive, which is why I was willing to invest so much money in them. However, I am disappointed by the following:1) They look cheap up close up. First, they embossed the display side with their logo and patent pending language. Second, the tabs are colored instead of black, so instead of blending in, they stand out and you can see every point between the wheel and tire.2) It doesn't matter if you install them properly or not, they can still come off. I have jacked up my car, deflated my tires, jammed them in there with tools, and re-inflated my tires numerous times in the first few days of having them installed, but the front driver's side tire just keeps coming off. My guess would be that the tabs need to be longer or fatter or something because even if they look perfect after you install them, they can still pop out while you are driving.I am still having issues with one wheel not staying one properly. The first time it came out, I thought just that one ring wasn't installed properly, so I went through the entire process again with that wheel. I also hit the base of the tabs with black paint, so they blended with the tire more and made the ring look sharper. But that one rings still keeps popping off every time I drive the vehicle, regardless of how hard or far it jammed in there. It is extremely frustrating.Don't waste your money until they fix the design flaws first.
