A protector for a wheel is formed from a plurality of segments (100). Each segment is formed from a synthetic material and has an arcuate distal edge (102) of a first radius, the distal edge extending beyond a distal edge of the wheel. Each segment has at least two spoke adjacent edges (106, 108) and an arcuate proximal edge with a second radius less than the first radius. In some embodiments, the proximal edge defines a hook to engage an inner recess of the wheel. Each spoke adjacent edge is configured to reside near a spoke of the wheel during use. In some embodiments, a protrusion extended from the lip serves as a pinch point when a tire deforms during an impact event.
