AlloyGator Black Alloy Wheel Protectors – Fits Up to 24" x 4 Wheels

Following an interaction with the nearside front alloy and a kerb, finding this product was great!!! Why oh why hadn’t I heard of them before? Easy to fit, looks great and provides great protection for my alloys. Due to driving an automatic vehicle it was easier to take each wheel off to both clean and fit the protective inserts. Took about an hour and I was getting faster by the wheel. Really impressed.

Takes a little getting used to doing the first wheel. I was concerned having fitted the rim, there would be an air leak between the tyre and the rim itself, and there was a leak where the two rim ends meet. I pulled out both ends and applied a compound gasket seal using a tube of it in a gun such as you would use to apply mastic around a bath. That took care of the leak. The glue supplied cured very quickly and stopped me gluing the two ends, so, I didn't use it but only to affix the covering cap to conceal the joint. On the second tyre, I first applied the gasket seal in the gap between the rim and the tyre all around the circumference. It acts as a lubricant, so I never used soapy liquid. This worked well. I did not use the glue but only for the capping. No leaks. Looks a treat !! Best rims yet. I've tried the others. They come off or they expand and come away. I like Alloygaitors as there's little chance they will detach as they are sunk inside the alloy rim. The second tyre took me around 30 mins. I took it off the car and placed it on a work bench - much better to work with.

If you’re running decent alloys and don’t fancy shelling out for a refurb every time a kerb jumps out at you, this kit’s a smart investment. Designed to sit between the tyre bead and rim, these protectors offer full-edge coverage without glue, tape, or gimmicks. The black finish keeps it stealthy—no flashy trim, just clean protection. 🧰 Installation Let’s be honest—this isn’t a five-minute job. You’ll need to deflate the tyre slightly, clean the rim edge, and use the supplied clips and mallet to seat the protector properly. It’s a snug fit, and once it’s in, it stays put. I did mine in about 40 minutes with a mate and a bit of patience. No adhesive means no mess, and they’re reusable if you swap tyres later. Tip: If you’re not confident, a tyre shop can fit them for a small fee. Worth it if you want it done right. 🛡️ Build Quality Made from a reinforced nylon composite—flexible enough to absorb impact, rigid enough to hold shape. They’ve taken scrapes from kerbs, gravel, and even a rogue pallet corner without cracking or popping out. The black finish is matte, not glossy, so it blends in with most wheel styles and doesn’t show dirt easily. Durability: Survived motorway runs, heavy rain, and rough terrain No fade or warp after months of use Easy to clean with standard wheel cleaner 🚗 Compatibility Fits wheels from 12" to 24" Works best with tyre profiles 45 and above Not ideal for ultra-low profiles—can interfere with bead seating Available in 15 colours, but black keeps it subtle and clean 👍 Pros ✅ Full rim protection—edge-to-edge coverage ✅ No adhesive—secure mechanical fit ✅ Reusable—can be refitted after tyre changes ✅ Tough nylon blend—resists kerb rash and impact ✅ Subtle styling—black blends with most alloys ✅ MOT-safe—doesn’t interfere with tyre performance 👎 Cons ❌ Fitting takes effort—deflate tyres and use a mallet ❌ Not suited for ultra-low profiles—check clearance ❌ Adds slight bulk—may not suit show builds ❌ Can trap dirt—needs occasional clean behind the lip

I was initially impressed with the concept and the ease of installation of the AlloyGators. However, I have encountered a recurring issue that I feel compelled to bring to your attention. The protective strips frequently come off the tires, often within a short period of driving. This not only defeats the purpose of the protection but also results in additional damage to the alloys and the alloygator during the removal process. Despite following the installation guidelines meticulously, the problem persists. As a member of a passionate car community, the protection and aesthetic maintenance of our vehicles are of utmost importance. I believe that many within our group, who are potential customers, would benefit from a resolution to this issue. Could you please provide any advice or solutions to prevent the AlloyGators from coming off regularly? Additionally, if there are any specific installation tips or recommended practices that might help in ensuring a more secure fit, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and assistance.

Great product. Have been using this product for years. Does the job well. However you used to get five in the box where as now you only get the four. Price has increased considerably over the years and you can only now get the rounded form rather than the angled form which also used to be cheaper. You are now forced to buy the rounded form which must cost the same to produce as the angled form. As mentioned great product does what it says on the tin. Cheaper than wheel repairs. Alloygator please be careful you don't overpriced these pieces of plastic!

Had them fitted at my local tyre depot £36 Thought that was good value because trying to fit them at home I don’t think would be a good idea They seem sturdy and well made and in a different league to ones that just stick on They certainly cost a good deal more but in my opinion well worth it

Do not go up and down kerbs with this product as it pinches tyre on way down and cuts sidewall of tyre also they come out of rim, things to be wary of. They do look good on wheels, would consider buying again tho’ trial and error has been expensive. New tyres on front at a cost of £165 each.

Brilliant

Pour insérer les AlloyGator sans problème, mettre un peu de WD40 sur le pourtour de la jante et le pneu et ensuite insérer les AlloyGator avec une massette en plastic caoutchouteuse ! Super résultat ! Bonne qualité.

I have this product on two of my automobiles and just replaced tires on one, It is difficult, if not impossible to reuse them again, so I purchased another set and will install them myself.

Parfait pour les jantes Tesla model 3 2020. Pour l'installation : Lever la voiture avec un cric costeau. n'utilisez surtout pas celui fourni avec la voiture. Si vous utilisez celui de la voiture mettez des grosses cales en bois pour soutenir la voiture ou des chandelles. Dégonfler entièrement la roue, mettre un lubrifiant entre la roue et la jante. Moi, j'ai mis du liquide vaisselle pure. Attention a la valve 🤣 et a la carrosserie. Au début, tapez doucement pour mettre la protection ensuite dès que vous avez fini de faire le tour de la roue, remettez du lubrifiant et tapez plus fort pour bien insérer la protection et coupez le surplus. Sinon enlever la roue pour le faire au sol. Mais j'ai préféré le faire avec la roue en place pour que je puisse tourner la roue au fur et a mesure que je mets la protection. Surtout ne pas couper avant d'avoir fait le tour complet de la roue. Lors d'un changement de pneus, on peut le réutiliser il faut juste prévenir l'installateur de la présence de la protection. La procédure pour le garagiste est dans la notice d'installation. Je la garde dans la boîte à gants.

I recommend this British Made wheel protector for your vehicle. The product is made well, it's tough, durable and can take a beating when installing them on your wheels. Follow the directions and watch a install video on YouTube to get familiar on how to properly install. Use the correct tools- plastic hammer, use plenty of soapy water for lubrication when hammering it on to your wheel. Ensure the tire is completely deflated if you choose to do it while on jacks with wheel/tire installed on the vehicle.

Great protection for the wheels
