Abstract: A wheel rim guard includes a body having an outer surface and an inner surface each radiating from a central point and the outer surface and the inner surface each co-terminating and defining a circumferential peripheral edge. The guard also includes a returnably-resilient seal disposed along the circumferential peripheral edge, the seal engaging a wheel rim berm. The guard also includes a handle depending from the outer surface of the body.

Abstract: A wheel rim guard includes a body having an obverse surface and reverse surface, the surfaces in mutually opposed orientation and having a thickness (t) intermediately disposed between the surfaces and with the surfaces mutually terminating at an outer circumferential periphery. The guard includes a first channel disposed within the reverse surface of the body, and a first flexible gasket disposed within the first channel. The guard also includes a handle disposed on the obverse surface of the body. A holder may be included that clips to the handle of the guard to position the guard for hands-free operation.

Abstract: This invention is a rim shield for covering an automobile rim and providing a seal between a flange of the automobile rim and a sidewall of the tire around the rim. The rim shield has a circular shaped body with a handle positioned on the side of the body and a channel formed along a periphery of the body on its bottom side, or the side that faces the rim. The channel houses an O-ring that is shaped in a manner that allows the O-ring to seal the space between the sidewall and the flange. Once in this position, the rim shield can be rotated using the handle in a secure seal between the O-ring and space defined by the sidewall and flange.
