The present invention is a low profile positive grip rim lock for use on off-road vehicle wheel assemblies utilizing standard safety rims, tires, and inner tubes. The rim lock provides a consistent grip with the bead of a tire regardless of the thickness of the bead of the tire, and never contacts the rim. The low profile eliminates the potential of having a pinch flat when the wheel assembly is impacted at the rim lock location.
