Not just a duck but...a RubberDuck!

I've bought from him before, and you get a little rubber duck with every purchase.

How do they attach to the wheel?

Refer to "Doe, a deer, a roadkill deer" thread for duck attachment!!

Or you could attach a live one's leg under the cover before bolting and sing along to the squawking as you go down the road!!!!

They may not work if you have changed your wheels and have different lugs.

Looks like 4 lug nuts get replaced with threaded ones, then the countersunk bolts go through the guards into them.

Any balance issues???

Nope. H1's have been using them for years, just now is someone offering them for H2's and H3's. The weight is evenly distributed across the wheel face.

Look here...

I think they look cool for all the time. I would love to have a flat black rig with some of those.

They are made of steel and 1/4" thick and will take a rattlecan job. They have them for the H3 also.

$475.- not bad. That duck is creepy though.

You should meet the man behind the duck!

So, are you getting us an H1, H2 or H3 to bomb around in on Golden Spike?

I'm not liking them a whole lot. I can rattle can my wheels (and did) if they get scratched. I doubt you could leave them on all the time if you got into much mud since some mud would trap inside and cause an imbalance.

The main thing I would be worried about though is access to the valve stem. We have a tractor with wheel weights and it is a pain to fool with because it's hard to access the valve stem through the "hole" in the weights. But I haven't seen any in person.

Rox if I had my way....we'd have a Flat Black, modded axled monster, with a pink 'RAAAAAARRRR!!!!!11" sticker on the back , to bomb around in.

I am contemplating my next "Alright baby, but this is your Birthday and Christmas present" present.

My poor rendering....

Paragon,
While they would protect against "scratches", what they will prevent more importantly is this...

Yeah, but at one time I had 18 spare wheels. I'm not sure how many I have left but the stockers are pretty cheap to come by.

Besides, I have so many wheel weights on the outside on mine, they protect the edge of the wheel.

Interesting!

they only fit a 17 inch rim. there are 4 replacement lugs with drilled ends for the mounting screws.

Sent Travis (thats the guy who builds them) a note requesting info about them fitting on an 18 inch rim. Here's what I got back.

_____________

I'm assuming you have an H2...
We only manufacture Rock Rims to fit 17" factory aluminum wheels at this
time.
However, we could make Rock Rims to fit your rims if (and only if) the
offset of your 18" rim is the same as a factory rim. Specifically, the
distance from the top of the countersink where your lugnuts attach to
the outside edge of your rim cannot be greater than 3 1/2" or less than
3".
This is due to the custom made lugnut standoffs that are INCLUDED with
the Rock Rims are made to a specific length to hold the Rock Rim a
specific distance away from the rim.

Secondly, I would need to know the overall diameter of the rim. Your 18"
rims will probably measure 19+ inches.

You could buy 2 sets of take-offs on EBAY for $475

I like these tire covers:

I wonder what impact (if any) the covers have on dissipating heat from the brakes, especially in the desert.
