Ebized Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks for the link. They look impressive with my main reservation surrounding the fitment/removal that requires all the air in the tyres to be let out and I'm wondering if the mini compressor you get these days (instead of a spare wheel) are up to the job of getting the tyre properly re-seated from zero pressure? If my worry is founded might be a breakdown call-out if a heavy duty compressor is not available...... Lets us know how you get on with the fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'll be getting them fitted professionally ... I'm too old for DIY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Any reason you went for these over Rimbands (which stretch over the lip rather than "clipping" in)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 these are also available https://www.alloygator.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) these are also available https://www.alloygator.com/ Not a fan of those. They look very hard and angular, with a big unsightly join... Edited March 18, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay84 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 So do they go between the tyre and rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 So do they go between the tyre and rim? Yeah, they just tuck in. (Both Rimbands and Rim Ringz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 So will fitment involve separating the bead rim, re-inflation and a balance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 So will fitment involve separating the bead rim, re-inflation and a balance? yes but no need for a re-balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay84 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Cool...although my boss has spent hours waxing lyrically to me about the benefits of up selling wheel balancing on top of a service, but I think that's because it delivers high margin.

Strudul Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 So will fitment involve separating the bead rim, re-inflation and a balance? Correct, though I don't think most people would bother with a balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kay Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Id be interested to see how they look. Would they be better if the wheels were a different colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
