What are they, though?<\/p>\n<p>Wheel protectors are durable rubber strips you can apply to the edge of the wheel. When applied correctly, wheel protectors will serve as the first line of defense against curbs and other hazards on the road.<\/p>\n<h2>Preventing Damage Is Cheaper Than Fixing Your Wheels<\/h2>\n<p>Your Tesla is an investment, but you want to keep repair costs minimal. While there are several ways to repair damaged wheels, they\u2019re pretty expensive and time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>For example, refinishing your wheels costs a lot of money if you hire a professional to do it for you. Replacing your wheels costs even more money.<\/p>\n<p>There are affordable ways to repair curb damage on your wheels. You could use a wheel repair kit, refinishing the wheels yourself, or replacing your damaged wheels with aftermarket wheels. However, none of these options are going to look good on your pride and joy.<\/p>\n<h2>Repairing Your Wheels May Put A Damper On Your Tesla\u2019s Appearance<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_10314\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10314\" class=\"wp-image-10314 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rimbladesusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/tesla-roadster.jpg\" alt=\"Tesla roadster\" width=\"640\" height=\"354\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-10314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/roadster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tesla<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Wheel repair kits don\u2019t always yield perfect results. It\u2019s hard to smooth out the filler once you fill in the scratches, and the paint doesn\u2019t always match the rest of the wheel. Even if you hire a professional to fix your wheel with a repair kit, you\u2019d likely end up with an imperfection on your wheel. That\u2019s not a good look on a Tesla.<\/p>\n<p>A better option would be to replace all four wheels with aftermarket wheels. However, it\u2019s not even a great option still. Replacing an OEM part on a Tesla with an aftermarket unit is considered sacrilegious by many Tesla owners. Since Teslas are already works of art, it wouldn\u2019t be a good idea to change up a Tesla\u2019s flawless appearance with a set of aftermarket wheels.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, repairing damaged wheels on a Tesla is a good way to waste money, ruin your car\u2019s appearance, or both. It\u2019s so much easier and more affordable to put wheel protectors on your wheels. Also, wheel protectors can even spruce up your car\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<h2>Look No Further Than RimSavers<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_10316\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10316\" class=\"wp-image-10316 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rimbladesusa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/rimblade-tesla.jpg\" alt=\"Tesla rimblade\" width=\"640\" height=\"390\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-10316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RimSavers are available in 12 colors &#8211; they can contrast and accent your vehicle, or they can blend in with your wheels (see below).<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a quality set of wheel protectors, RimBlades is the brand you want.<\/p>\n<p>RimBlades offers a unique line of wheel protectors called RimSavers.
