I have just ordered a set of rim protectors for my 18" Pirellis. has anyone else bought a set and if so , what are they like?

I've not used them, but know a few who have. They are okay up to a point. If you just scrape then they do give protection, but anything over that and they simply rip partly or fully off. Probably worth a tenner if you tend to be a natural born kerb hugger :wink: :laugh:
