Modified alloy gators

[DOYLO]

You forgot to mention if we had a club discount

If Alloy Gator became an affiliate of the club they could offer a discount to members. I will ask sag if this is possible and ask Alloy Gator if they would like to do this.

now your talking, discount is my favourite word. And there's nothing like good advertising

Now have a go at the wrc competition! it's my other fav word FREE!

I have Alloygators on my Bellones- and they do work very well
They are a bit of a pain to fit- prob 45 min a wheel as its easier to take the wheel off,as it needs deflating
And sometimes you dont realise they are not properly fitted
But they are a very good product
They are a bit pricey too, at around £65 for a set

Has anyone tried RIMBLADES? They are a bit cheaper and you dont have to deflate the tyre, but
they are not clipped into the wheel rim just stuck on!
I have a second set of wheels, TSW Tarumas, that are interchanged from time to time, and want to protect them

Anyone used them, and are they any good?

Have some RIMBLADES ordered
Doubt will fit them, or even receive them before the NATIONAL
But will report back how easy they are to fit and how good they are at their job

CBlue, let me know how you get on with those Rimblades. Will definitely be looking at one of these two when I get the new alloys.

Doylo, any joy with that discount?

Hi Josh- DOYLO aint been on the site for ages- reckon his DS3 gone

Got the rimblades- best bit dont have to take deflate the tyre
Will fit them soon and let you know.
Dont look as good quality as Alloygators but cheaper and easier to put on

We have the Alloygators fitted to DS3 THP in red and no issues but at same time had fitted to my BMW 5GT which failed twice with resultant scratch damage to car bodywork.

We paid £75/car for approved fitting company to come and fit including supplying sets. When I had the issues was a waste of time but Curt at Alloygator replaced and showed me what they had done wrong.

The GT has done 28,000 miles with them fitted and we are now fitting to all our new cars in our Company as look smart as well as protecting the alloys.

I fully endorse Alloygator but be sure fitters know what they are doing and no gap between alloy and gator or will fall off on the road at speed, I had replacement tyres fitted without the Alloygators being removed as good fitter used.

Alloygators are good but cost me £70 for full set and then had an ASS of a time fitting them myself (Couldnt find anyone local to fit them)
Have fitted RIMBLADES to me other set of wheels which were easier to fit but havent fitted the wheels to the car yet
(You dont have to take wheels off- with ALLOYGATORS you have to deflate the tyre)
They look better than ALLOYGATORS but do not look as durable

[Chris_Blue]

Search for a post "Alloygators" and you will see DOYLOS photos on his thread
Can post photos of the RIMBLADES when I get the wheels out the shed in next few days

Hi, I'm new to the forum looking to pick up my DS3 style plus in September. Im interested in AlloyGators to protect the bellone alloys but have been quoted £120 supplied and fitted. Do you think this is good?

Might be a bit cheaper to order them and fit yourselves. Should be a 40-50 minute job from reading the posts on here.
