Rim Protectors

Anyone know anything about this?

It's a little plastic strip that gets wedged between the wheel and tire that's supposed to help protect against road rash.

 

Ever use them?
I’m looking for a user’s review.

 

They look like training wheels for people that don't know how to drive.

 

I haven't seen that exact style / brand but I have installed several sets of a different style. The name escapes me right now but I can look at work in the morning. The ones I've done have a small U channel that sticks to the wheel and different colored inserts that snap into the channel. If I remember correctly, they run around $200. I put one set on a coworker's Escalade in the spring and they've held on very well thru heat, rain, cold, snow, carwashes and his girlfriend driving it.

 

Man seriously that thing looks like weather striping for your house doors they sale the stuff at HD for like 6 bucks a roll and you can paint It any color you want.

 

OK. That was easy. I thought they looked cheesy and way too cheap but maybe I could have been wrong. Looks like I wasn't.

Thanks for the opinions!!

 

Honestly, it seems like a waste of money.
With as much tire wall as most of us have (oversized tires) I doubt curbs are a problem unless they’re boulder sized or unless you’re rocking 28” wheels with 2” of sidewall LOL

We had some big ass curbs in Memphis and I only have 33” tires with 18” wheels. Never scratched my wheels up despite rubbing against a few curbs. (And the occasional parking lot hop) LOL

Not to mention, they look like shit. Yeah.

 

That's true too most us tundra guys put big tires on our rigs. because we like to ride high

 

Yes sir! High and dry!

With the great flood of 16 down here, I was never more happy I put in a 3” lift. Was going through water up to my headlights at 5 am, no street lights and 4-6 foot ditches on both sides ...I was scared shitless, but the tundra took it like a champ!

 

No, no, no!!
You should never drive when you're high!
