AlloyGator products
AlloyGator creates the full range of plastic inserts including the mounting accessories needed for installation or maintenance of the product. The products are arranged on their website by Kits (full kits for 4 rims), Singles (single inserts to repair damaged parts) and Accessories (such as mounting clips). The AlloyGator rim protection is designed to prevent curb damage when hitting an object with a wheel. The plastic ring is inserted between the tyre and the rim itself. It sticks out slightly, when hitting a curb the stone edge will hit the plastic insert instead of the wheel. The damaged plastic insert can either be re-trimmed or replaced when damaged.
