Protect rims from kerb damage?

[Virus]

Only effective during dead slow driving. Useless if high speed, tyre will flex when mount kerb at high impact.

haha, chill guys. its just a preventive measure. its much easier to do this then to end up refurbishing the rims.

 

sometimes my mom drives my car so im using this protector as a prevention to kerb rashes.

 

i think it looks good as well. anyone seen this for sale in sg?

[Icyfreakass]

Hmm. will try some rims shops soon if no one has any idea.

[Chucky2007]

looks interesting, let me me know if you managed to find it in singapore.

[Icyfreakass]

Am still asking around. Asked p-- ---g and they dont have it. Anyone seen this is singapore before?

 

 

[Chucky2007]

i never noticed it before as didnt know such product exist. Have u checked with leong seng tyre? anyway dun bother abt others, they are either super careful driving all the time, or using cheap rims, therefore didnt bother about rim rash. [laugh]

[Icyfreakass]

Haha its ok. They are entitled to their own views. I shall check with leong seng.

[Ladykillerz]

Hmmmmmm... interesting stuffs indeed.

I also want to know the price.

If not expensive, can consider getting it.

Hi guy, i saw this product online which protects our rims from kerb rashes. However i dont think this company ships to singapore.

 

Do you guys know of any similar products available here?

 

This was the webbie i found.

They do (or used to) ship internationally. One of my friend bought from them before. But he didn't use it in the end...cos joint is visible.

[Icyfreakass]

he didnt cut properly? maybe get the second one. rim pro-tec. They cover up the joints.

[Heartbreakkidz]

Maybe someone can do the gb here,then those who interested can buy 2gether lor :)

[Icyfreakass]

I just emailed them. Will keep those who are interested updated.

[Icyfreakass]

To protect rims, use tires with thicker side wall..
