RIM PROTECTION

Like tyres, protection rings are sold to precisely fit the size of the wheel rims. Nothing more and nothing less. We have calculated a formula, according to which the rings need to be stretched to a moderate extent to be mounted on alloy wheel rims. You can try to put a ring on a wheel rim of a bigger size, but you’d better avoid doing that – first, it will take more time, and second, the ring is likely to slip off. Therefore, when having, for example, R18 wheels, we choose a ring with a label marked R18.

The rim protector comes packed in a plastic bag with a label indicating the size and color – a set contains 4 (one-piece) rings. The protection rings themselves are universal and will fit almost any wheel rim or cover thanks to their shape. The cross-section looks as follows: the 2.1 cm long part is inserted between the rim and tyre, while the short part covers the rim’s edge by 1 cm.

The rim protector has four protection rings made from imported TPE (Thermoplastic elastomer or Thermoelastoplast) of the SEBS type. The operating temperature range of this material is from -40 to +60 degrees, which means that it doesn’t crack or fade in the heat and doesn’t crack or harden in freezing cold weather! This material is also used for outdoor seals.

The raw material is of very high quality confirmed by the Сertificate of Сonformity UA1.024.0096424-06 and tests.

Paraffin, alcohol solution, or if it won’t wash off at all, use a small amount of white spirit – but be very careful not to let it get on the rim or tyre.
