Love how the Tracker Pros look but if they can't hold up to a beating then it doesn't help me much. Tired of tearing up my aluminum rims in the rocks but I don't want beadlocks (at least not yet).

The plastic rim guard on the L8 wheels that I have (Bully Pro's) protect your valuable tire bead from damage. Nice big tires (37x12.5's here) last a while but are costly to replace, damaging your bead will ruin a perfectly good set of tires, so these rock rings not only protect the wheel but your bead. I know it doesn't help you as much if you're just painting the rock rings to look nice and then they get scratched but when you're out in the rocks and get stuck in a tough spot, those rock rings are awesome for protection. I should post pics of mine again soon, I wheel every weekend and they are in rough shape by now with plenty of scratches but... it's still my first set of them so it's killer that they have hung in this long (~7 months), especially when you consider that we crawl up V Notches on our sidewalls, climb up undercut rocks with the tire folded up (low psi) and are often leaned over while doing this. Those things take some real abuse. I honestly wasn't sure they would handle it. The best part is that at any time, I just replace the rings and everything looks good as new.

I will say that the concept of a wheel protector that sticks out is a bit of catch 22 because you do scratch the rings up more since they stick out more than a standard rim would but again, I feel it's worth it because the rim holds up, rings can be replaced and my sidewalls are in great shape, where some of my buds have tore up rims and beads pretty badly on the same trails but without the L8's. If you can find a good rim protector built into the tire that looks good, that's cool, go for it, nothing wrong with that but these replaceable rings are really the ticket for protection.

As to what looks the best, I think it looks fine as is but I will leave that up to the collective to decide, I'm honestly more concerned about function in this area.

FYI, I run ProComp Xtreme MT2's

Hope that helps!

The great thing is the rims have suffered 0 effect. To include bending a flange in the new Dyanatrac 60. So yesterday I took them off and with 220 grit sand paper and a palm sander I cleaned 90% of the damage out of the rings and re painted them. I have to say these rims (especially the rub rings) are fantastic.
