AlloyGator est-il compatible avec les jantes biton de la Honda CR-V ?

Oui. Le profilé se pose sur la tranche extérieure du bord de jante, quelle que soit la finition de surface. Il ne recouvre pas la face avant de la jante et n'interfère pas avec le rendu biton. Le coloris du profilé peut être choisi pour se fondre avec la teinte sombre des jantes ou, au contraire, créer un contraste visible.

La protection de jantes alu modifie-t-elle le comportement du pneu ou la monte d'origine ?

Non. AlloyGator est homologué TÜV et ne modifie ni l'équilibrage (moins de 2 g par roue), ni le profil de roulement. La monte d'origine Honda est conservée à l'identique. Aucune modification de la pression de gonflage n'est nécessaire après la pose.

Que se passe-t-il si je revends ma Honda ou restitue un véhicule en LOA ?

Le profilé se retire sans laisser de trace sur la jante. En cas de restitution LOA ou de revente, il est retiré lors du passage au réseau ou chez le concessionnaire. La jante récupère son état d'origine, sous réserve qu'aucun impact majeur n'ait eu lieu sur les zones non protégées (face avant, voile). C'est l'un des usages les plus fréquents : couvrir la durée du contrat pour éviter les pénalités de restitution. Pour les autres marques avec ce cas d'usage, les pages protection jantes BMW et protection jantes Audi détaillent des situations similaires.

Protecting Honda alloy wheels: sizes, models and advice

July 29, 2026 61

Honda's original alloy wheels cost between €180 and €420 each depending on the model — a kerbing scratch can quickly become a costly expense, especially as Honda alloy wheel protection can be fitted in under an hour.

In underground car parks, against high kerbs or on poorly designed roundabouts, the rim edge takes the first hit. Honda has been upgrading its alloy wheel finishes across several generations — Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Jazz, and on more recent versions of the Accord. The result: owners notice scratches within the first few months of use, on alloy wheels that often cost more than €250 each to replace. The AlloyGator profile, fitted between the tyre sidewall and the rim edge, absorbs the impact in place of the alloy.

Common rim diameters on Honda vehicles in the French market

Honda models sold in France cover a range of 15 to 19 inches depending on the trim level and model year. Here are the most common diameters:

Honda Model	Common rim size(s)	Original wheel finish
Civic (2017–2025)	16, 17, 18 in	Polished alloy / anthracite grey
CR-V (gen. 5–6)	17, 18 in	Two-tone alloy / gloss black
HR-V (2022–2025)	17, 18 in	Polished alloy
Jazz (2020–2025)	15, 16 in	Grey alloy
Accord / Accord Aerodeck	16, 17 in	Polished alloy / chrome
City	15, 16 in	Standard grey alloy

AlloyGator is available in 13 to 22 inches: all these configurations are covered. The dedicated Honda configurator allows you to select the exact diameter and visualise the available colours before ordering.

Most exposed models: Accord, Accord Aerodeck and City

The Accord and its Aerodeck variant are saloons whose 16 or 17-inch polished alloy wheels feature a thin, protruding rim edge: the slightest kerb scrape leaves a mark visible to the naked eye. The City, frequently used in dense urban environments, combines high mileage with frequent manoeuvring in tight spaces — two conditions that maximise the risk of lateral contact.

On two-tone or gloss black finishes (CR-V, Civic Sport), even the slightest scuff contrasts sharply with the dark surface: the cost of restoration by a specialist bodyshop ranges from €60 to €120 per wheel, repeated with every incident. A set of four AlloyGator alloy wheel protectors therefore represents a one-off expense lower than the cost of two repairs.

Fitting and pricing: what to expect

Fitting time: approximately 1 hour for all four wheels at an approved fitter in our network.
Fitting cost: approximately €99 including labour (excluding the cost of the set).
New genuine Honda alloy wheel: between €180 and €420 per unit depending on model and finish.
Scuffed alloy wheel repair (bodyshop): €60 to €120 per wheel, with no guarantee of a perfect result on two-tone finishes.
Available AlloyGator colours: 13 shades (black, silver, red, yellow, blue…) to match or contrast with your bodywork.

Fitting requires the tyre to be dismounted: it is carried out by our partner approved fitters equipped with a tyre machine. To find your nearest fitting point, please consult the AlloyGator approved fitter network.

FAQ

Is AlloyGator compatible with the two-tone alloy wheels of the Honda CR-V?

Yes. The profile is fitted to the outer edge of the wheel rim, regardless of the surface finish. It does not cover the front face of the alloy wheel and does not interfere with the two-tone appearance. The colour of the profile can be chosen to blend with the dark shade of the wheels or, conversely, to create a visible contrast.

Does the alloy wheel protector alter tyre behaviour or the original wheel setup?

No. AlloyGator is TÜV approved and affects neither the wheel balance (less than 2 g per wheel) nor the rolling profile. The original Honda wheel setup is preserved exactly as standard. No adjustment to tyre pressure is required after fitting.

What happens if I sell my Honda or return a vehicle at the end of a PCP/lease agreement?

The profile can be removed without leaving any mark on the alloy wheel. In the event of a lease return or resale, it is removed during a visit to the network or the dealership. The alloy wheel returns to its original condition, provided no major impact has occurred on the unprotected areas (front face, rim flange). This is one of the most common use cases: covering the duration of the contract to avoid return penalties. For other makes with this use case, the pages BMW alloy wheel protection and Audi alloy wheel protection detail similar situations.
