Default AlloyGator wheel protection

What Does the AlloyGator Do?

Potholes, curbs and a bevy of other hazards can scratch and/or destroy your alloy wheels.
If you have ever scraped your wheels against anything and have wished that you did not do so then you might love AlloyGator.




It protects your wheels by taking the damage from the curb and allows you, for the most part, to wipe away the evidence after it happens.

See the video on our page here

Keep in mind that they do not show you cleaning the product after a mishap. However, you can and should do that after contact.


Are your wheels already damaged from the curb?
Check this out: AlloyGator Wheel Protectors cover about 1/4 of an inch of the edge of your wheel.
Hide the curb rash you already have while preventing it from happening any more!!



"What Do I Get When I Buy This Product?"

Here is what you get inside the box:

Set of 4 Alloygators
6 matching joining clips
Stainless-steel securing clips
A tube of high quality glue
A key-ring clean-up tool
A suitability gauge
And fitting instructions and care advice

You can have a look at what is in the box on our page here

"Can I Get a Set of AlloyGators that Glow in the Dark?"

The answer is yes.

Have a look at the video on our page here to see what it looks like when you drive by.



"Is it easy to install? How does it work?"

The answer is that it is very easy to install. You can see how easy it is to install and how it works by watching the videoon our page here


Simply select your car, wheel and AlloyGator color to view your style.

You can even configure your own color scheme here by choosing the (relative) color of your car, and then wheel color, and test each color combination!!

13 Colors Available!

Black is the most popular because it blends in with the tire so well,
it is hard to see!

Trunk Monkey Parts is the only online retailer for AlloyGator in all of North America.


We also install them here in our shop if anyone is local to Sandy, Oregon



There's a glow in the dark version too!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


What material are the rim protectors made of?

The AlloyGator product is made of a “Super Tough Nylon” which is flexible and wont damage your alloy wheels during fitting, but tough enough to give superior protection.

How Permanent is the Colour?
Consistant colour is maintained thoughout the product, which means that the colour is fully maintained after damage has been rectified. We recommend you regularly clean your wheels and AlloyGators with normal car shampoo or universal wheel cleaners suitable for delicate finishes like chrome. Avoid the harsh cleaners and thick, brush-on tyre shines used by some hand car-washes.

How do I remove my alloygators?
To remove the profile simply jack up the car, fully deflate the tyre, remove the plastic joining clip and carefully prise the profile up around the joint area. Firmly tap the face of the AlloyGator using a rubber mallet on the side which has the hole in it. This will then release the glue and open up the joint. Once the joint is open carefully prise the profile out of its seated position from the tyre side of the wheel, starting with the end without the hole and using a tyre lever or flat bladed screwdriver along the side and under the profile, prising in an upward motion. Once the end of the profile is free from the wheel and tyre then carefully pull it out from its position across the tyre wall in an outward motion in order to prevent any damage to the wheel from the stainless steel clips

What is the fitting method?
The AlloyGator is locked to the wheel over 360° using highly robust patented technology. Please view our fitting video on our home page for further advice.

Have they been tested at speed?
They have been tested under normal driving conditions and within the legal speed limit.


p.s. I have them on my C6 GS and have had no problems with spirited driving
