MOTION PRO Rim Shield II Tire and Wheel Tool

The Motion Pro RimShield II is a rugged nylon rim protector that shields wheel finishes and hands during tire removal and installation.

If you change tires by hand—on motorcycles, bicycles, or ATVs—the RimShield II provides a simple barrier between tire levers and the wheel to prevent nicks, scratches, and scuffs. This updated model is molded from DuPont Zytel super-tough nylon resin for improved impact resistance and long-term durability. Each set contains two protectors with built-in finger holes and a long apron to keep spokes and skin safe while you work.

How does the RimShield II protect my wheel while changing a tire?

The RimShield II places a durable plastic barrier between a pry tool and the wheel rim so levers slide against the protector instead of the finish. Its raised beads guide the tire lever into the correct position and act as a stop to reduce slipping and accidental rim contact.

• Made from DuPont Zytel super-tough nylon for abrasion and impact resistance
• Dual raised beads lock the lever into place and prevent unwanted slips
• Long apron covers spokes and reduces the chance of skin pinching

Will the RimShield II work with all rim types?

The RimShield II fits the majority of motorcycle, bicycle, and ATV rims but is not intended for heavy-duty cast Harley-Davidson rims. Motion Pro recommends a specific part number for HD cast rims to ensure compatibility and safety.

• Compatible with most motorcycle and bicycle rims
• Not for use on HD cast rims—use part P/N 08-0357 for those applications
• Sold as a pair so you have protection on both sides of the tire bead

What practical features make the RimShield II easy to use in the garage?

Designed for repetitive shop use, the RimShield II includes finger holes for quick placement and removal, a long apron that protects both hands and spokes, and an ergonomic shape that lets standard tire levers seat reliably. The material resists deformation so the shields retain fit and function over many uses.

• Finger holes enable fast insertion and removal with gloved hands
• Long apron protects spokes and keeps hands clear of sharp edges
• Hard-wearing nylon construction maintains shape under repeated leverage

How should I care for and store the RimShield II to extend life?

The RimShield II requires minimal maintenance: clean with mild soap and water after dirty jobs, keep away from prolonged UV or chemical exposure, and store flat to avoid bending. Proper storage and routine cleaning preserve the protective surface and prevent embedded grit from scratching rims.

• Wipe clean with soap and water; avoid strong solvents
• Store flat or hung by finger holes to keep shape intact
• Replace if heavily abraded to ensure continued rim protection

Who is this for: The Motion Pro RimShield II is ideal for home mechanics, professional shop technicians, and enthusiasts who regularly change tires and want to avoid cosmetic or structural damage to rims. If you perform frequent tire work and value a reliable, reusable barrier between levers and wheel finishes, this set of two nylon protectors simplifies the job and reduces the risk of costly rim repairs.
