Red piping from auto zone

Anyone knows what they are called at Auto Zone? I went in to 3 stores and asked them for the red piping that goes around the wheel rim to protect it from curb rash and they did not know what I was talking about.

I know a few members here have bought it from auto zone so please help me with what it is called or if you have a link to it on the online auto zone store.

Thanks!

Are they the same one's that you get at Auto Zone? Did you stick them right in or did you remove the trim and then stick them?

Yes, the same one at AutoZone. You need to remove the wood trims.

gotcha. Oh well too late...I already ordered the piping from Bimmian for the dash. Might use the auto zone one for wheel rims!

I think the red piping from Bimmian can easily go between the trim gaps without removing it. But it's not as thick as the one from AutoZone. Anyway, you have both & you can try which one suit your taste.
