It's alright buddy, are they any good and I got the rimblades flex but they didn't stick to the alloys >:( confused but I tried a set from rimblades themselves and seeing how it goes but if not I'll return them due to them not working and get a set of scuffs if you say there okay thanks buddy

Don't get me wrong, I had some trouble when applying them, I think it's difficult because of them being tightly rolled up in the packaging, so straightening them out before applying them seems to help! They're great, been through the carwash a few times no bother, and seem really tough no worries!

I thought I did, but couldn't see anything afterwards, so I guess they're doing the job!
