Product Awards 2013: Product of the Year

Alloygator Alloy Wheel Protectors are a clever, simple and cost-effective solution to protecting your expensive rims from scrapes and scuffs

Alloygator Alloy Wheel Protectors

Alloy wheels are a popular choice among motorists, even though some sets can cost in excess of £5,000.

They can help your car hold its value come resale time, so it’s vital that you keep them in pristine condition.Trouble is, alloys are also highly susceptible to picking up damage.

If you regularly park on the street, you risk kerbing your wheels, which ruins the look of your car.

As wheel refurbishment isn’t cheap, it’s worth investing in a set of AlloyGators.

Our Product of the year is an affordable way to prevent damage.

AlloyGator rim protectors cover the edges of your wheels to keep them safe from harm.

Sitting between the alloy and the tyre, the tough nylon protector is durable enough to withstand kerbing.

It is designed to sit proud from the wheel and tyre, to bear the brunt of scrapes.

Should you hit a kerb, you can shave off the scuff marks with the included tool, and the AlloyGator looks as good as new.

The product is now in its second generation, and the manufacturer has also created a nationwide fitting network. Plus, the range has been expanded, so there are now versions to fit all wheels up to 21 inches.

As AlloyGators aren’t deemed as performance-enhancing, fitting them shouldn’t affect your car insurance premium.

There’s a choice of nine colours, while they take less than an hour to install.

And at less than £60, AlloyGators offer everything you need to keep your wheels scratch-free.
