Longest Lasting Super Bright Rim Lights - Personalized LED Colorful Wheel Lights Review


My Instagram
According to the Amazon product page:
"Speed Racer only lights up once put in motion, and thus will not require constant turning on and off. Based on LED technology, the rim light will endure through almost any terrain as well as rough handling. Want to bike in the rain or through small ponds? The rim lights are 100% waterproof and rust resistant - to put it differently, once the LED has been installed you will never have the hassle of taking it off or putting it on again unless you want to

As the speed racer is attached and functioning properly, it may enhance safety by increasing visibility at night. This package comes with
  • 2 x Green LED Bike Wheel Lights
  • 2 x Blue LED Bike Light
  • 2 x Red LED Bike Light
  • 6 x Valve Covers
  • 18 x AG10 batteries
These lights allow you to light up your bike at night with the Speed Racer rim lights and you can choose from three different colors. These motion sensor LED lights ensure durability along with 50,000 hours of use lifetime. They are easy to install - simply attach LED wheel flash light to valve stem on bike, fits almost all bikes. These lights are rust resistant, and 1100% waterproof and usable through any terrain."

My Experience

First of all, the package I received did NOT have 2 x Green LED Bike Wheel Lights, 2 x Blue LED Bike Lights, and 2 x Red LED Bike Lights. I received 2 x Green LED Bike Wheel Lights, 1 x Blue LED Bike Lights, and 3 x Multicolor LED Bike Lights instead. I was upset that I only got 1 Blue light because it's my favorite color and they were the ones I wanted to use most.

The construction of these lights is really cheap. They are all plastic save for the batteries of course. The plastic on the single blue light I received was poorly molded and when I tried to attach it to my bicycle it drained half of the air included therein. I later broke off the piece that was loosely attached.

When I put these lights into action they didn't light up. I was pedaling as fast and hard as possible and still nothing! When I tried to remove it, I had trouble to remove it. I had to get out pliers to unscrew it and the "chrome" paint just stripped off, just black plastic now.

I had such high hopes for these lights because they would be great for safety with riding my bike at night. Especially considering all of the five-star reviews on Amazon I feel as if I received a different product, I am very unhappy with mine.

I thought it would be a good idea to try them out on my car but I don't want to drain the air in my tires and I don't have a set of four of a single color or even two sets of two colors that I want to use on my car.

If you want to try this product anyway, you can find it HERE for $12.95.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
