Wheel protection from those pesky rocks! Never saw them for H2's and H3's before.

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.

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

Not just a duck but...a RubberDuck! 
I've bought from him before, and you get a little rubber duck with every purchase.

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.

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. |

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.

The covers or the ducks?

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!!!!
