Hub guard

A hub guard, comprising:

• a lower base plate configured to mount the hub guard to a hub assembly, the hub assembly configured to receive-a hub cap;
• a plurality of vertical risers which are coupled to the lower base plate and extend upwards from the lower base plate;
• an outer deflection component coupled to the plurality of vertical risers opposite the lower base plate,
• wherein the plurality of vertical risers and the outer deflection component are configured to provide a protective structure around the hub cap when the hub guard and the hub cap are mounted to the hub assembly,
• wherein the lower base plate comprises a first flat arced segment and a second flat arced segment, the first arced segment and second arced segment being coplanar and separated by gaps, and further outlining a first circular ring,
• wherein the outer deflection component comprises a flat plate outlining a second circular ring,
• wherein the first circular ring outlined by the first arced segment and the second arced segment has an internal diameter which is larger than an internal diameter of the second circular ring outlined by the outer deflection component,
• wherein the plurality of vertical risers are separated by gaps,
• wherein a first set of the plurality of vertical risers extend from the first flat arced segment to the outer deflection component, and
• wherein a second set of the plurality of vertical risers extend from the second flat arced segment to the outer deflection component.
