Abstract
A wheel shield includes a central disk having a central wheel hub opening surrounded by annularly spaced stud holes that correspond to a pattern presented by a vehicle. The central disk includes an outwardly open fastening surface such as a channel positioned around an outer diameter of the central disk. The wheel shield includes a radially-compressible ring such as radially extending filaments. The radially-compressible ring has an inner diameter attached in the outwardly open fastening surface of the central disk and sized to engagingly contact an inner diameter of a vehicle wheel rim to restrict movement of brake dust to an exposed outer surface of the vehicle wheel rim while still allowing for the movement of air for cooling.
Claims7
A wheel shield comprising:
- a central disk having a central wheel hub opening surrounded by annularly spaced stud holes that correspond to a pattern presented by a vehicle and comprising an outwardly open fastening surface positioned around an outer diameter of the central disk;
- and
- a radially-compressible ring having an inner diameter attached in the outwardly open fastening surface of the central disk and sized to restrict movement of brake dust from a vehicle brake proximate to a vehicle wheel rim to an exposed outer surface of the vehicle wheel rim;
- wherein the radially-compressible ring comprises a brush having a series of bristles extending from the central disk and is made up of radially extending filaments and configured to contain dust and debris.
