My vote's for the fangs. Durable and they hide any existing damage to the frame rails (one of my was pretty badly crumpled from a previous owner, looks great now).

Fangs! I had the white ones and then switched to the black ones.
The look OEM and don't draw attention while simply helping to protect the frame rails. Plus, have you ever seen what a used roller skate wheel looks like?!

What about the metal skids for 21.95; they take the abuse before the rails do and costs a lot less. They go on in 2 1/2 minutes with one bolt and nut each; nothing is removed prior to install.
