Default Rimskin's groupbuy

ok so i contacted Jarrod at the wheel deal to see if they would be interested in a group buy. The good news is they are.

the normal price is $89

the price for 5 is $79 so an initial saving of $10, if we get 10 the price is $74 and for each further set its another $1 off the price. ive put the scale below to help people understand price.

5 People $79
6 $78
7 $77
8 $76
9 $75
10 $74
11 $73
12 $72
13 $71
14 $70
15 $69
16 $68
17 $67
18 $66
19 $65
20 $64ea

so the question is interested in protecting those nice wheels you have?

now for the hows

payment payments will be a bulk payment at a determined point
how long have we got im thinking well get too 10 confirmed people and at that point give it a further week to see how many others want in and then i shall set a cut off date of 2 or 3 days after that.
delivery details once we have confirmed numbers i will compile names and address' and will pass these onto the wheel deal and then orders will be filled and sent out shortly after

now all that is needed is a list, please only put your name on the list if you are confirmed. also next to your name add the colour you wish to have. i will confirm the current colours but i believe there is White,Red,Blue,black and silver. i will confirm available colours over the next day and update if they are different

1.Fat4d-black

any questions feel free to pm myself and i will then contact jarrod, to save him being flooded with pm's possible of the same question

any colour will go with black mate ...is there any other colour on your ute. if so go with that ...or post up a pic and we will have a look
but id say red would be good without seeing your ute

any more interest? Surely we can get to 10. Thats only 74 bucks to protect those rims which are so much more expensive. This option to upwards of 200 to repair just one wheel not protect 4

Hmmm,"ponders" and likes.My front calipers are the large black/blue PBR,s though???
Maybe paint the same colour as these front calipers,these are my old crappy XHP rims.They have been freshly painted dark dark blue with the pbr logos put back on so look way better than this,they have been clear coated aswell.Never got aeound to doing rears as it takes a while to do this way.


I have factory height at the front and one stage lower at rear to have the car sitting level.Anymore lowering at the rear and Im worried about hurting tailshaft/bushes even quicker(car has 345rwkw's).The pic I have shown is of the rear tyre and is almost ready to replace,its only 235 as well.The new boots coming are 265's so it will fill the arches a heap more and actually will make it look lower to the eye I hope.

No ORANGE coming anytime soon guys.

Freddy - yours may actually fit - can you post a high-res close up of the lip? A small lip is fine:

Does it leave a residue when you take them off? or pull off the clear coat? I found other similar rimskin things that did this...
