Great iv found your thread. im waiting for the white and silver to become available. cant decide which colour to get.“In less enlightened times, the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks.” - Scott Adams

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?

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
