Bank Details were sent this morning but as yet funds haven't cleared (this is not unusual). It may take us a few days to get the stock together and orders processed and posted so please be patient. Bear in mind that this order has coincided with a change in the Rimskins packaging so all of the packs in the group buy will be in manufacturing at the moment. ETA was to have enough available as of today but I still haven't checked with Rimskins how the production run was coming along. It isn't unusual for these things to be slightly delayed. I'll keep in touch as things progress.

Is it possible i get another set? I need a total of red skins for 6 rims. I already paid for 1st batch pasted. If so can you pm me the remaining total for additional skins? Or if i have to give it to them directly either way.

Preparation is the key - I spent ages cleaning the outer rim surface as I use MR Sheen to clean the rims & Autoglym Tyre Black.

I left the car for an hour or so before driving it - before I drove my car for the next 3 days I re-pressed the RimSkins onto the rim to make 100% sure they were stuck on.

I presume once they are on the car for a while the RimSkins rubber actually hardens somewhat in the form it's set on your wheel and that also helps it stick.

Agree with Sorted, preparation is KEY!

Make sure you read the instructions fully (like all blokes do ) and give yourselves some time for the skins to cure onto the wheel. It is paramount that any and all chemicals are removed from the wheel surface prior to fitting using the cleaning wipes supplied.

I'll repeat again - please READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FULLY before fitting to ensure best results.

The rubber used does have a slight memory to it so the longer it is formed to the shape of your wheel the less it will resist the shape and try and peel off. Hence why preparation during the application of the product is critical.
