DSPUK Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 As title - has anyone fitted alloy wheel rim protectors to thier rims -- mine seem to get scuffed a lot by kerbs and have seen a Merc with some on - I thought they were a Merc item but after doing a google for them it seem's there are a lot of different types -- As usual it seems you get what you pay for. I like look of Alloygaters as they are made of hard plastic rather than cheaper type made from silicon rubber. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 They do look good - BUT when was the last time you saw a 2" high kerb as per demo video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I had some avon tyres shaped to protrude past the rim,and they worked really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) easy way to avoid kerbs, don,t hit them! That is just what I was going to say why are you hitting Kurbs in the first place tung in check ( have you thought about getting new glasses ) perhaps you could get some big balloon tyres.
