Just got hold of my rim protectors in grey,in two days,not bad going in this weather!

waiting for a decent day to fit them,may get my local tyre depo' to help out.

I've never liked this sort of thing, and i still don't

I find avoiding kerbs is the best way of protecting my wheels. They also end up looking a lot better that way too. :)

Make sure you take some pics to show us when you've fitted yours.

:)

Im in two minds about these - I would love to see what they look like fitted though. Im paranoid about any kurb-related incidents!

Seeing as two of my alloys have a tiny bit of snow related kerbing and one of them has a fair bit of carelessness related kerbing I am seriously considering getting these, even though I don't think they look that great.

As soon as i get them fitted i'll post some pics

Wouldn't those make the wheels very unbalanced and shaky unless you get the position 100% right?

While i get them fitted at my tyre depo' i'll get them to re-balance,still worth it for the protection.

Hi,got the grey protectors for my moondust silver fez,didn't want to stand out too much with the red 17's!

Will apply some poorboy's prior to them going on.

£29 notes for these! I think I would rather take my chances and put the £29 towards having my wheels refurbed if I curb them as oppose to having these rottern things on my alloys
