Just wanted to show you guys I did it tonight. About 20 bucks total. Did it about 10pm in -4 degree weather (celcuis) so the tape was brittle and I didn't even know f it would hold lol. Held on during my drive home at speeds up to 60kph. Photo's ****ty, but it's dark and was taken with my iphone.

 

what did you make it out of? doesnt look too shabby for $20

 

how well does this stuff stay on when doing 100mph+

 

just a guess, but it looks identical to mine i did lol, garage weather stripping? I got an 8 foot roll from home depot.

 

How often do you (really) drive 100 mph+ ?

 

I tried that double sided mounting tape, but it kept coming loose for some reason? so i just went and bought some small screws and washers and screwed it on.

 

yeah I got it from home depot....9ft roll for 15 bucks haha. garage door weather stripping. I used scotch double sided tape and tonight it held fine

I'm going to new brunswick to get these rims on saturday, so on the highway i'll be doing up to 140kph....so i guess i'll see how long it last lol

yea i dont know why, i tried 3 different brands of double sided mounting tape and nothing held and that was just on install. so i went with small screws

 

arent those just the stock rims???

 

yeah...I have my winter tires on my stock rims which are pretty beat up. Was gonna get some rims for summer but saw this ad and they're super cheap and in good shape. So this way I'll have two set of rims, one with winter, one with summer tires so i can just swap them out myself.

 

man too bad u didnt live close, i just sold my stock rims for 175

 

I'm getting them for 240. Everything's more expensive in Canada

It'd be nice to get a different set for summer but it's gonna save me hundreds of dollars getting these, so i'm cool with that. I could always paint them black or something

 

oh gotcha. a guy local here had a set of motegi's for a 100 bucks for all 4, the paint was faded, so i sanded and primed and painted all of them and they look brand new.

 

you should just powder coat your summer set since they will last a bit longer without the road salt and everything getting all over them. that way you feel like you have a bit of a different feel with the seaons. getting ready to do my wheels over christmas

 

Did you clean the area and then use some adhesion promoter/activator? Cause that stuff makes sure it'll be hard to remove by hand let alone blow off on the highway ha
