I got the gun metal vinyl for the standard 20" wheel and I'm blown away by how perfectly they match. Looks like a sold, single-color wheel now. Installation was easy, though a bit time-consuming.
Another great product from TWRAPS :) Installation is pretty straightforward. Would definitely recommend this product. I ended up installing the top half of each wheel and then driving the car forward a bit to rotate the bottom part of the wheel to the top. Makes positioning and lining up the edges way easier. Also, a heat gun or hair dryer are helpful to seal in some of the edges, especially on the outer edges. There are plenty of extra pieces as backup so that is a very thoughtful touch.
I’m so glad I bought these. They completely transform the 21 inch wheel from a shiny flower to a dark snowflake. They are made from real 3M 2080 vinyl so they should last a long time but I just put them on yesterday so I can’t speak to real world longevity. I’ll try to remember to come back after some time and report how they do in an automatic car wash.
Install was fairly easy but I chose to take my wheels off and lay them flat so that I had greater visibility. The whole process took 3.5 hours but my result is perfect. The vinyl is an exact match to the color on the wheels. They look practically seamless. There was a bit of a learning curve but I only wasted one piece and they included 30 pieces which is enough for 6 wheels. I will also do my full sized spare in the coming days. After I got the hang of it, they all went on fairly quickly, maybe 2-5 minutes per piece. After I completed each wheel I went over them with a heat gun on high, per 3M’s recommendation for the 2080 vinyl. That helped clear up some trapped air that was not apparent when squeegeeing the vinyl and it also helped cinch up the outside corners. Just don’t go overboard with the heat or you may melt the vinyl. Also, be careful with the squeegee when the vinyl is hot because it’s much more pliable and can easily stretch and bunch up. If you’re careful, it’s not a problem.
I highly recommend these if you want to eliminate the shiny look of the 21 inch wheels.
It took me about an hour to install on all four wheels. It was relatively easy and the end result looks great. The color isn't perfect when you are really close, but when your back a srep, you can't tell the difference.Highly recommend!
I loved the look of the Rivian R1S from the begging but I was not a fan of the "flower" wheels. Unfortunately, I didn't like any others they offered either. My plan was to get the standard wheel dipped and make them black. Then I found this product for 1/20th of new wheels and 1/5 of dipping. It's a simple (but painstaking) process but gives the wheels two tone, custom look. Perfect contrast to my LA Silver R1S.See the diference in the photos. Plenty of extras for mess ups and scraps. I figure, if I have to do this once a year, I came out better than spending $2500 on wheels that lowered my range and I really don't like. Don't hesitate.
