Prevent Wheel rim dammage

[StephenK]

Anyone know of a way to prevent wheel rim dammage? I've dented 6 of the eight rims on my wheels in just 25 hours.
Thanks.

Did it render them useless or just roll the outer edge in some? If it just rolled the edge in, don't worry about it, that is going to happen.

[StephenK]

I've rolled and scraped the edges. I also have a tire that has a slow leak, but ironically it has no evidence of rim damage.

[Mike]

Yeah, rolling the edges is going to happen. For the leak, you may want to try some "Slime" in the tire. I had similar problems with tires and Slime stopped that completely.

Does anyone make heavy duty rim protectors that go over the rims?

My 8yr old daughter just looked over my shoulder and asked what I was reading, I told her that a guy wants to know how to prevent damaging his rims. She asked what he does that causes the damage. I didn't know( OP doesn't say). She said, tell him to stop doing whatever wrecked the rims.

So there we have it, the solution to all damaged rims, straight from the mouth of an 8yr old, lol.

She said, tell him to stop doing whatever wrecked the rims.

HA! I don't know if her wisdom comes from being 8 years old, or from being a woman. It seems to me that it's a combination of both. The ladies always seem to have a very practical way of approaching these things....

+1 for what hydromike said. And stopping what we're doing would be NO fun at all! lol

as for OP, some tires come with a "Rim Protector" lip on them...although..ive had these tires and sometimes the lip doesnt stop the damage, but alotta times they DO. but..finding the right size/type of tires u want is a whole other story. lol Just a thought
