Default Alloygators, just fitted some.

Hi all, well sick of having my newly refurbed wheels refurbed time and time again, so when I saw these http://www.alloygator.co.uk/ advertised in EVO mag, I thought I'd give them a try. Very easy to fit about a 2 hour job, and although I had my reservations I'm getting used to them. Good selection of colours too, nearly went for the pink(cerise) ones but would have been gutted if I didn't really like, so went safe with blue to match my lug nuts & valves.

Anyway pics below, let me know what you think, and knowing me, I probably won't catch my alloys now I've got them fitted

Quite like that look. Gives it a time attack style stripe round the rim and makes the rim look a bit wider and gives the tyres a stretched look if you know what I mean.

Sabas, got them from Alloygators, click on link, think they cost £48 with p+p, there is also a different manufacture of the rim protectors, but they have a metal clip attached to the plastic which don't look as good and also the clip may mark your alloy. These seem to be the best on the market, also you can scrape them clean if you do catch the curb with a sharp edge too, and if really damaged you can just buy 1 replacement, which is nice.
