Motion Pro Rim Shield II Tire and Wheel Protector Set — 2-Pack Nylon Rim Guards, Non-Marring

Motion Pro Rim Shield II is a durable nylon rim protector set that shields wheels and spokes during tire removal and installation.

Designed as an upgraded version of the original Rim Shield, the Rim Shield II is manufactured from DuPont Zytel super-tough nylon resin to resist bending, cracking and wear. It slips between the tire bead and rim to stop metal tire irons from contacting the wheel surface, while integrated features help keep the tool secure and protect your hands and spokes during service. Each package contains two protectors; note they are not intended for heavy-duty cast Harley-Davidson rims—use P/N 08-0357 in that case.

How does the Rim Shield II protect rims during tire changes?

The Rim Shield II acts as a barrier between tire levers and the wheel finish so levers don’t gouge or scratch rims. Its abrasion-resistant nylon absorbs leverage force and prevents direct contact between metal tools and painted or polished surfaces.

• Made from DuPont Zytel super-tough nylon to resist gouges and deformation
• Long apron shields rim edge and spokes from pry damage
• Prevents scuffs and scratches from metal tire irons

What features help keep the tool in place and reduce slips?

Rim Shield II includes design elements that make inserting and holding the protector easier, reducing the chance of the tire lever slipping off the bead. These features both speed up the job and increase safety for the technician.

• Dual raised beads provide a guided channel for inserting tire levers
• Finger holes let you hold and remove the shield quickly and securely
• Textured contouring helps the shield stay positioned under leverage

Will the Rim Shield II harm wheel finishes or chrome?

No — the shield is engineered to be non-marring and gentle on surfaces. The nylon formulation minimizes surface abrasion while still offering the stiffness needed to protect the rim when pry force is applied.

• Non-marring DuPont Zytel composition safe for painted, anodized or plated finishes
• Flexible enough to conform to rim profiles, yet rigid for protection
• Long apron prevents tool edges from contacting spokes and hands

How do I choose the right protector for my motorcycle wheel type?

Rim Shield II is suitable for most motorcycle wheels and is sold as a two-piece set for standard rims. However, for specific heavy-duty cast Harley‑Davidson rims you should select the alternate part number recommended for cast rims to ensure a proper fit and protection.

• Set of 2 pieces covers both sides during a tire change
• Compatible with most tubeless and tube-type rims except HD cast models
• Use P/N 08-0357 specifically for HD cast rims to avoid fit issues

Who this is for: The Motion Pro Rim Shield II is aimed at motorcycle mechanics, home wrenchers and track crews who perform repeated tire changes and want to preserve wheel finishes. It's useful for anyone who uses metal tire levers and wants a simple, rugged barrier that reduces cosmetic damage, protects spokes and keeps hands safer during maintenance.
