Now the tire will protect the rim from the chain.

For like 5minutes maybe, I wish I had pics of the Dunlop slick that was on it. The whole left sidewall was ate away down to bead just about.(hence all the markings on the rim)

The rim looks sorta cool like that. Is there anything you can do to stop the chain from rubbing?

Ya the guard sitting atop the swingarm blocks the chain from the rim. It would the tire as well but its a bigger tire. A 150 wouldn't come close.
