Folks with wheel vinyl covers -- how are they holding up?

How long have you had them? How are they holding up?
Thanks

Got Twraps for my 21s. Put mine on in August or September maybe. 2 of them held up really well, spots on 2 others didn't do as well. Maybe I didn't press them down well enough. I live in Denver so the harsh weather in the winter probably got to them.

I took them off completely last month, which tooke a solid hour or so with a razor blade, so much of the wrap was on their pretty good. I had them mostly to see if I wanted to have them blacked out more permanently.

I was overall happy with them, could probably have ordered a 3-4 replacement pieces and been good to go if I wanted.

Got gunmetal wraps for the 20 brights from brain exploder. They are holding up great. 6 months in. I only hand wash the truck, but no lifting or pealing so far.

Installed in February. Look as good as new

Sorry to hear that happened! I can send you a replacement set if you decide you want them back on.
With that said, my experience so far shows that issues usually result not so much from application but from surface preparation. Rims tend to get dirty, oily and what not. I've seen folks who recently had a wax where the vinyl doesn't stick at all too. So my point is - proper cleaning of the rims + using a bit of alcohol as a primer might be the best way to go to reduce the risk of the vinyl not sticking. In terms of application one thing that can be done to make the vinyl stick harder is to do heat gun treatment - just warm them up once installed, push them, and they stick really hard.

Haven't purchased from y'all previously, but customer service responses like that means you'll be at the top of my list when I do. Well done.

I had TWraps on my winter 20" set for 6 months in REALLY harsh conditions with probably 1 wash per week. They still look perfect.

My car envies your car for how often yours gets the SPA treatment

Less of a spa and more like either make a mess at the car wash or make a mess in the garage melting off all the daily snow & crud overnight. In this part of the world, it doesn't matter what color your car is...they are all "shitty salt white" in the winter.

I did the Brain exploder film and its almost completely destroyed after a winter of driving in snow.

Same. I actually prefer the matte look over the AT Darks. I'm surprised by how well they've held up. If/when they ever start peeling, I'll play with hyper or plastidip.

Twraps gunmetal on mine - had them only for a month but perfect so far. I applied on alcohol cleaned wheels followed by a heat gun since it was still cold out when I applied them.

TWraps on 20s since June 22, 12k mi. No peeling, no problems.... Still look great... Other than when the rivian tow driver rubbed it against the trailer and I have a pencil lead sized hole where it scrapped off and I see chrome. All TWraps gear has been great.

I have the black twraps on my 21’s. There was some damage when I had to have a tire removed to get patched and have a few nicks here and there though I have no idea how tbh. Still looks great!
