I am not sure why all wheels don't come with rim protectors.

BBS seams to have the secret sauce. If you ever curb a wheel just peel of the old rim protector and replace it with a new one. The rim protector is held on by double back tape.

Because they look bad in the vast majority of cases.

LOL. I actually like my stainless steel rim protectors.

I have a thing about beveled edges of wheels vs the old pinch-weld look where they used to put wheel weights. Once I saw that smooth outer edge there was no going back. Having said that, your wheels certainly do look great, and the protectors don't look so bad on some finishes (IMO).

They actually look pretty great on those wheels.

Your wheels are one of the few though where they look fine.

Here is BBS’s video on replacing the rim protector.

spent all the money on the wheels had to buy a shitty espresso machine but yeah karma came to him.

But as most have said, they look ok on your wheels but would look bad on most wheels. Maybe because I don't live in the city but in the boonies there is almost zero chances of ever curbing a wheel. Also with the mirror folding down on the right its never been easier to park a car and not damage a wheel. That said I get it can happen and it does suck but I would most likely never put one of these protectors on.


also do they come in the same finishes as the wheels? That be actually pretty cool, if they looked the same as the wheels.
