Just like the Aussie insurance claim....'no matter what way I turned, the tree just kept coming at me. I had no choice but to hit it!'

Re: Rimblades

look alright really.. somewhat discrete.
i'll wait to see if it does the job - how it stands up to the challenge of those moving kerbs when his mrs is at the wheel .. lol

A bit of plastic that can be cut with sharp scissors will not stop any damage to wheels.
Snake oil IMO.

Re: Rimblades
I'd also be interested to find out if these actually work.
I've only recently purchased my X5 so am currently unfamiliar with tyres available, but on previous cars I've used Bridgestone Potenzas which come with a slight overhang over the edge of the ri which offers protection from kerbing?
