My wife has scraped a curb or two trying to get close to the curb in her Charger. She has expressed interest in some of these curb protectors. (I'd match her wheel color) CLICK HERE Weel lip protectorMight hitting a curb with these knock an end off causing it to strike the paint as she drove? Maybe they are soft enough that hitting curbs doesn't knock them off Has anyone used them and has input? Edit: This video appears to show that they stay on CLICK HERE

Looks interesting. I've got one scuffed wheel lip on my 16 Dart. I could probably use this to cover the scuff and protect the wheel from future damage. The link doesn't say how many feet you get though. The roll looks small like you need to buy multiple kits to do all 4 wheels. One customer review reported that one roll did four 17" wheels with some extra

Haven't seen any on a car lately. Quite common back in the 50's. Of course time change...more tightly sealed interiors, air-con, massive sound systems, etc. Could not open your link, but I have a set of original 50's curb feelers. Had them on my 48 DeSoto for a while. Real conversation pieces, especially from the younger generation.. Think I will put them back on before summer.
K.I.S.S.

How about some old school ghetto cruiser curb finders?
