Rim Strips/Protectors
Anyone purchased these from Bimmian. Thinking about a set for my track wheels to add a little color........Phil

They look promising. But dang, 50 bucks... that's a lot for some rubber and double sided tap, lol.

Once I get my wheels refinished (last owner hit some nasty curbs on the passenger side), I may look into these just in case I put myself into a position where I'll have to kiss a curb. Otherwise, I'm really good about my wheels. Haven't curbed more than once and that was when I was 16.

Ahhh I see. Yeah, definitely go crazy with them, then. I think the red ones would look great with the current track set up you're rocking. Gives it a "time attack" look

It's not gonna protect against major curb damage, but I think it'll stop the minor scuffs and scrapes

Sorry I sound like a jerk but this seems like a bad idea that will not only impact you, but also the poor guy following you when that thing flies off.

Maybe the adhesive is higher heat rated? I could be wrong, though, but for 50 bucks, they better last forever.

I use high temp metallic tape over my wheel weights to prevent them from falling off on the track. I'm not optimistic about these rim strips.

Looking at the inside, it just looks like 3M double sided tape. I wonder what they're rated for heat-wise.

Slicer, from a safety standpoint I understand your position. But no one has said they're unsafe yet. Think about all of the front lips that are "taped" on front bumpers. That is definitely more of a hazard considering the direct down force put on them during a lap or two.........Phil

My skepticism is based on the following: A wheel and tire in track use gets very hot, I would expect it would be subject to far more force (both rotational and lateral load from tire bead/sidewall pressing against it), plus a curved, not flat, mounting surface. That's just my educated opinion.... I have obviously not tested these.

That's awesome. I wonder if that's what they used on myth busters to lift a car.
