WHEEL GUARDS

AP Boxes’ aluminium wheel guards offer premium 3.0mm protection for your wheels, available in raw alloy, powder-coated black or white finishes.

Ute wheel guards for heavy-duty protection

Your wheels face constant challenges on tough roads and work sites. Wheel guards, also known as mudguards or fender guards, cover and shield the exposed wheel arches of your ute or trailer. This protection prevents premature wear, tear and corrosion of your wheels and surrounding components — delivering long-term durability for your vehicle.

At Australian Performance Boxes, we create aluminium wheel guards using a heavy-duty 3.0mm aluminium flat plate, offering reliable durability and resistance to rust. With wheel guards, you can navigate rocky trails, haul heavy loads and provide extra coverage for your ute. Shield your wheels from debris, dirt and harsh weather to keep them in peak condition.

Built for real-world challenges

Our wheel guards aren’t just about looks — they’re built to handle the practical demands of Aussie roads and worksites. We use rust-resistant aluminium to provide a lightweight product that maintains your vehicle's performance, all while being tough enough to resist corrosion, dents and daily wear. Whether you're dealing with muddy off-road tracks, gravel roads or demanding job sites, these ute wheel guards are up to the challenge of providing long-lasting protection for your wheels.

Finishes that work as hard as you do

Style matters, even when it comes to heavy-duty gear. Our wheel guards come in three distinct finishes to suit your vehicle and your personal taste. Choose the clean, understated look of raw alloy, the rugged appeal of powder-coated black, or the sleek finish of powder-coated white. These finishes look great and add an extra layer of durability to keep your ute tray wheel guards performing and looking sharp over time.

FAQs

Are wheel guards necessary?

Absolutely, especially in Australia, where the roads and conditions can be unforgiving. Wheel guards protect your wheels and surrounding areas from debris, mud, and water from dusty outback tracks and gravel roads. They also help prevent damage caused by flying rocks and other hazards commonly encountered in rugged environments. Beyond off-roading, wheel guards are equally valuable for urban and suburban driving, reducing mess and keeping your vehicle in better condition over time.

Do wheel guards affect vehicle performance?

Our ute wheel guards are lightweight and have minimal impact on vehicle performance. By preventing debris build-up and protecting key components, they can enhance the longevity and reliability of your ute or trailer.

Will wheel guards fit all ute or trailer models?

We design our wheel guards to fit various ute and trailer models. Check the product specifications or contact our team for guidance on compatibility with your vehicle.

Can I paint or customise my wheel guards?

Yes, you can customise your ute tray wheel guards after purchase. We offer finishes in raw alloy, powder-coated black or white however we do have customers purchase our products and have them sprayed or wrapped after purchase. Raw alloy provides a versatile base for custom paint jobs if you prefer a specific look. We do not offer a custom colour service.

How do I maintain aluminium wheel guards?

To keep your wheel guards in good condition, rinse them regularly with water to remove dirt, mud and debris, especially after off-road trips or exposure to harsh weather. Inspect them for any signs of dents, scratches or wear. For powder-coated finishes, stick to mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals that might damage the coating. A quick clean and check now and then will keep your guards looking great and performing well.

Please ensure to measure your specific ute tray and confirm that it works with the dimensions provided, as tray sizes can vary. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to ensure the product will fit their specific tray or vehicle. Should you need any assistance or guidance regarding fitment, please contact our team.
