It's meant as a temporary thing you try to see if you like the way something looks in a different color.. say red or black. A lot of people use it to coat their whole dang truck, and it just looks stupid. Try it, sure. But peel it off if you like the color and then paint the thing properly.

You're right though. Protecting your rims during the winter is acceptable. Being a homo with it is not.
