Rim Protectors

[GBZ4]

Hi the collective wisdom.

I've seen 'rim protectors' advertised and would like to get first hand knowledge as to wether they are worth it.

Do they actually protect the rim?

Thanks

Cant comment on how good they are but personally I think they look terrible.
They don't seem particularly cheap and the good ones need the tyre removed to fit as far as I know, so that's an extra cost to fit.
I reckon if they get kerbed they will look worse than a kerbed wheel and then there is the cost to get new ones.
Probably better off being more careful and if the worst happens just get the wheel refurbed.

I think I'll take your advice and be more careful :hattip:

I have alligators fitted to mine - protect and suttle

And these do work unlike rim blades
