Ok we all heard of tires with kerbes protection, but they don't always work and today I stumbled upon this thing called Alloygator.

So if it helps protect those expencive rims. Mine are allready destroyed. But for you guys buying new car tought I might share this info since thing is made in UK.

And it comes in colors and makes the wheels look more cool!

 

 

I disagree that it makes the wheels look more cool. 

 

In my eyes it is the alloy wheel equivalent of the verucca sock.

Yep, been around for ages and look cr4p IMHO

Protect the curbs!

Take a look at Michelin tyres, big rim protection especially, the PS4

However much those alloygators cost, they are overpriced by exactly that amount 

The Asymmetric 3 have gone backwards in terms or rim protection. Virtually non existent. I just PLAC nowadays.

I was stunned by the PS4's the other day, its gotta be 1-1/2" 

Anyone tried just paying attention and looking where they drive? That should be cheaper than mounting ugly plastic strips to the wheels

Dunno about your roads, but round here potholes can be unavoidable, in the dark especially. 

 

Three 19" tyres in 9000ish miles tell their own story...and I keep away from kerbs like the ebola virus.

Driving a low car means knowing the location of every single pothole and dip on the roads I drive often.

 

Potholes suck! I had a wheel warped on the old Fabia because of that, and no curb protector would have changed that. 

I had alloygators fitted to my VRS but once they are damaged or kerbed they look awful. When they were taken off they left fine scratches around the edge of the rims.

When I saw the video with the guy whacking the alloygator into the wheel, I was thinking that you are going to have to use Alloygators for the life of the alloy because of the damage left behind by installing it.

Good way, nothing I've seen are better but, a few equal it. Truth be told, avoiding kerbs is the only way to protect your alloys when you've got so little tyre wall
