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!'

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

At least when you change the plastic it shouldn't rip the paint or laquer off.....

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

Snake oil IMO.

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?
