Rear tyre now needs alignment. 😂 100k+ car, that rim protector gap will bother me. Please redo…!

[@thesaintlcfr]

as the person who changes your tires, just don’t hit a curb pls.. (edit for clarity) putting those things on your rim while already having low wall tires (which are stiffer and harder to get off as it is) makes it so much more difficult to change your tire. i get it’s for protection or whatever but then don’t complain when a 30 min breakdown balance rotate takes 2 hours bc our machines are having a hard time with your rims. getting the bead up with those on is damn near impossible with those kind of tires and most people who put those on want to keep them on.. also not to mention all the dirt and shit that gets under them so when you do take them off or sell your car your rims are trashed. just be cautious and don’t curb yo shit.. makes my life AND yours a lot easier. :)

I've got 20" wheels and let me tell you that rubber bullshit ain't gonna protect anything. Especially since pretty much all tyres for the big wheels have inbuilt trim for "protection"(my ass) already. It's like wearing a carton box on your chest for the combat mission. On a serious note though, the best tips to protect low profile wheels: 1. Never let your girl drive your car(mine butchered my alloys 10 days after I bought my car, my mistake learned) 2. Always park in reverse preferably with side mirror(s) angled so you can see the floor and curbs in tricky situations. 3. Have a Terminator vision or a schizophrenic paranoia for any mf curb out there on the planet. But yeah, they do look amazing on some cars and it's not tacky or overkill, it's worth it.

Lol me too. I can’t believe he had the balls to post that shit.

Those tires are probably a down payment on a normal vehicle it's insane how much tires cost for certain vehicles

I see these going for between 6-10k easy in good condition in my area. I’m actually planning on buying one

[@unfortunategamer8586]

Personally I just don’t curb my tires. I take turns properly instead of cutting sharp because I have this crazy new thing called situational awareness 🤣

[@simonscofield8825]

Yep, me too!!

[@Jun55k]

Normally same. My city just happens to have fucking potholes everywhere. Near impossible to avoid sometimes at night 😢

[@triw117]

You mean spacial awareness. The situation has has no impact on the curb’s proximity to your car.

“Rim Protecters” *Hammers the living shit out of the rims*

Everytime ive seen these in my old tire shop it was for a flat repair and it was always a bead leak caused by these

[@thesaintlcfr]

and then they come back two days later trying to say we did smth wrong smh😭 take those damn things out your tire and just don’t curb rash your shit😭

[@Basslicks82]

​@@thesaintlcfryeah if you want these on there for cosmetic reasons, fine...pay the piper. But if you're using then as "protectors", learn how to drive...or do what they did in the fifties and get curb feelers...that'll look about as good on your Benz as curb rash

Gotta a better way, don’t hit curbs

[@thelastbox1412]

Bro I would love to not hit curbs but the town I live in all the curbs are a foot to 2 foot tall because of flooding and it’s a older town so if you have to go to a drive thru or make a tight turn around a corner and there’s another car there our streets are hella thin and curbs hella high lol shit just sucks, if you don’t got rim protection where I live your dumb honestly 😂

[@appelmelk5664]

@@thelastbox1412um, I drive a car too large for the normal parking spots here, also high curbs but somehow I don’t hit them? Crazy.

[@Chillin4030]

I got an even wilder idea. They make tires that flare out to protect your rim fron curb rash. If you truly need that protection, like I do cause I park on the street and I'm not perfect, get a tire designed to do it. The cost difference is nothing.

[@belter321123]

Yup. 72k miles and my wheels are immaculate

[@evenflo75]

​@thelastbox1412 or could use properly size tires not stretched if thats the problem. The sidewalls should protects the rim.

Good thing he added that drop of super glue to the ends that don’t even come close to touching each other.

And that's how you properly protect your 6 grand rims, by smashing them hard with a nylon hammer. The most unprofessional job I've seen in my life and i was like 4 years working with rims & wheels a while ago. If my boss sees that, this "pro" is f####ng fired instantly.
