Protect Your ATV'S Wheels With Style
Inspect your ATV after a trail ride and you'll probably discover dings, bends, and even cracks in the wheel rims caused by impact with rocks, tree stumps, logs, or washouts. The impacts can also damage the bead area of your tires. These new wheel-mounted poly rings are designed to prevent the damage before it ever occurs.
  RimArmor rings are machined from 1/2-in. thick, solid polyethylene plate specially formulated to absorb impacts and resist abrasion. They're also impervious to most chemicals and are unaffected by UV rays.
  The rings extend about 1/2 in. above the rim to cover the bead area of the tire. No modification is required to your ATV's existing rims.
  "They absorb the impact of hitting a rock or stump instead of the rim taking the hit and getting smashed," says inventor Larry Lundy. "They also protect the bead area of your tires, as the ring extends about 1/2 inch above the rim to cover the bead area of the tire. As a result, you won't have to worry about getting stranded miles from home because of tire or rim failure. They're especially useful in extreme riding conditions like off road, rough terrain and rocky areas. The center of the wheel is left open so you can still get at the lug nuts and valve stem."
  The poly rings fit most stock aluminum and steel rims and are available for 9, 10, 11, and 12-in. rims. They can be ordered with either the "wedgelock" style attachment method for steel rims equipped with a 1/4-in. deep minimum recessed bead area; or a "hook" style attachment that wraps over the radiused edge of an aluminum rim and also steel rims equipped with a lip that's less than 1/4 in. deep.
  Nine different color variations are available, including five solid (red, black, green, yellow, or blue) and four multicolor with either black or white lettering.
  A set of four RimArmor rings sells for $189.99 plus $18 S&H.
