Anyone here got or tried Rim Blades, apparently they protect your alloys from kerbing etc.

I've used rimbands before on my old car which had bbs alloys on. They looked ok but didn't really do the job as a small pothole kindly removed one completely off a wheel.
Don't think they are really worth the price you pay for them, I know the rim blades you have to use an adhesive/glue which I wasn't too keen on

Thanx 4 your thoughts alex but surely the ones that the tyre holds in place r more secure than sticky back plastic jobsI wouldn't waste your money on them to be fair, on my golf they lasted all of two weeks. One flew off itself, the other came off on a pothole. So decided to take the rest off. The better ones out of the lot seem to be the plastic rimblades that have an adhesive section and seem a lot more secure.

Thanx alex never thought about sidewall flex kinda obvious they could work out guess i'll just have 2 learn 2 keep away from kerbs: that's me parkin in middle o the road don't fancy hamering clips on as it'll f$#k alloys up more than light kerb rash&sticky stuf'll come un sticky wi constant washing/rain&road ****The rim blades hook around the lip of the tyre then there's a small plastic clip that gets glued and hammered on. They are more secure as the rimbands have and tendency to pull themselves out due to sidewall flex going round corners. Well that's what I found with mine, they slowly pulled themselves out.
