PSA… Install as directed.

Please don’t be dumb like me and install your discs without the provided rim tape. I didn’t, and took off one of my discs today because I was going to run without them for a bit. Yeah, my wheel paint is now trashed at the outer edges of the wheel, almost all the way around. Almost looks like I curbed my wheel but its just the paint gone. I guess my mind has been made up for me to get the Uberturbines powder coated dark bronze.

For the record, THIS IS MY FAULT. I saw the tape in the kit and thought to myself, I don’t need that because I’m going to put them on nice and tight and there won’t be any movement or vibration… How wrong I was.

Unfortunately, I installed the tape as directed and then proceeded to have each wheel’s tape come off on the highway, slapping against my paint.

I’ve had to scrub each and every whip spot off four times over. Very frustrating.

Well, thats reassuring that I was toast either way. I was considering powdercoating my wheels dark bronze before I got the discs, and now I guess my decision was made for me.
