So basically we need a protector for the protector who's protecting your rim?
If not mistaken there was one tyre with that, but made the sidewall hard and ride was bumpy.
Right in the middle of the sidewall was a raised rubber strip just like the rim protector, but rim protector located at the rim edge, this one right in the middle of the sidewall, but hard knock will still damage the other areas....:banghead:

Basically the tyres usually is cheaper then the rims and tyres are always being changed, rims not necessary, so protect the rims is more vital....:driver:
Guess only my case is the rims are cheaper than my tyres :rofl:

Interesting but the bright colors would not suite my car and they're too expensive. I'd rather just buy wider tires with rim protector like what I'm using now.

Many modern tires now have like extra thickness of rubber just after the edge of the rim which is designed to add extra protection to the rim. It's especially more apparent on lower profile tires as that's when they're most needed.
