Why do we need rim protectors? 

• Car's rim is easy to curb rash, who wants to drive a beautiful car with a scraped-up wheel?
• Rim rash repairs cost $150+ each, and new third-party wheels can cost hundreds of dollars.
• The rim protector provides long-term protection of the wheel rim while covering any rashes that have developed.
• You can remove it at any time, or replace it with a new one for a lower price when it gets scratched.

Why choose our rim protectors? 

Perfect fit

• The fit between the protector and the rim is very important, which makes it stronger and more protective. We have designed rim protectors for different sizes of wheels.

Good looks

• Alloy rim protectors are more refined and less obtrusive than rubber or nylon rim protectors. In addition, it must be a complete circle without any cutting gaps. 

Powerful protection

• Usually, there are three kinds of materials for rim protectors, which are alloy, rubber and nylon. Among them, the hardness of the alloy material is the strongest, and it is difficult to be damaged by hard objects. Rubber is the softest, it tends to deform or shift in a crash and doesn't protect the rim. 

Firm and not fall off

• Falling off is something that all rim protector buyers worry about. We have done a lot of testing and product optimization for this. We chose 3M VHB double-sided adhesive, which has strong viscosity and excellent anti-aging performance. In addition, we redesigned the size and edge shape of the rim protector so that it fits tightly to the rim by its own tension. It is more than 3 times firmer than ordinary rim protectors. 

Easy to install

• Many rim protectors on the market are a pain to install, requiring the wheel to be removed, the tire deflated, or cut yourself. This is very unfriendly to ordinary users. Our products do not require any of the above operations, nor any tools, just simple cleaning and pasting. (Scroll down to see the detailed installation guide and video tutorial.)

Note:  Please install rim protectors in warm weather. If the weather is too cold, please use a hot hair dryer when installing, heating and pasting until it is fixed.
