Sorry for the late post @Sawilagaz, here are the RimPro-Tec photos after a few months installed since August. It's still on the rims, have no issues with washing the rims and tire treatment sprays.

Anyone with aeros should just have one of these $15 touch up pens handy. Cheap and easy fix. https://amzn.to/2BA3F1H
Way too many problems with rim road rash on a Tesla.
Seems like an easy fix would be for Tesla to install a tire on their cars that is a little wider than the rim.
It is time for Tesla to address this for all future cars produced. Update the tire contract to a new size.

Look on post #17. It's a low speed rim protector, I sanded down the rash, cleaned it and installed the rim protector. I have 19" wheels. Else your only option is to have it professionally repaired.

RimPro-Tech wheel bands still holding up well, no issues, however we recently had a slow leak on our front right time and unfortunately Tesla said we had to replace the entire tire. When we picked up our car the wheel band was destroyed and the techs said they couldn't mount the new tire with the band on. I thought they had these "touchless" tire removal and mounting machines?? So, rather than dishing out another 99.00 for a new kit, I took parts of the excess wheel bands I had saved when I initially installed it. I was able to use 3 segments of the excess wheel band holder and installed also the excess protector trim that fits in the holder. Just remember to offset where it joins from the trim holder joints. Now it looks good as new, I'll post photos tomorrow of the post install. Now for future tire changes... I may consider removing the band ahead of the tire change and install new 3M tape adhesive or just pickup another kit.

This past weekend I was exiting a parking stall with the curb on the drivers side and took the turn a bit too sharp. Well I did feel the rear wheel "kiss" the curb...uggh I thought... well I'm happy to say the RimPro-Tech wheel bands did protect my rim edges and didn't even come off. I only felt the scuff marks on he wheel bands otherwise rim was in perfect condition. It really works!!
I recently just repaired my wheels by myself, and it was quite easy. Not sure of you still level, but I followed the instructions on
, then sprayed the repaired wheels when Superwrap, looks back to stock..
It does take a bit of time to sand off the scratches/ding/dents but its totally worth it. I probably spent about 30 min sanding down the lip of the wheel, which i had a large gash along 12" of the diameter. Then I used the Superwrap wheel kit. I know the video is from dipyourcar, but I liked their color selection better at superwrap.
