Limonest and its roads: a demanding environment for your alloy wheels
Located in the Rhône department, on the doorstep of the Lyon Metropolitan Area, Limonest is a busy traffic hub. The immediate proximity of the A6 motorway and the northern ring road brings thousands of vehicles through every day, while the secondary roads across the plateau weave through a dense urban fabric, complete with raised kerbs, tight parking spaces and a succession of roundabouts. The result: a kerbed alloy wheel can happen in the blink of an eye, even to the most careful driver. With the cost of replacing an alloy wheel potentially running to several hundred pounds per wheel, it pays to be prepared.
Is an alloy wheel protector really worth it?
It's a question that comes up time and again, and the answer is straightforward: yes, provided you choose a quality product. A high-quality alloy wheel protector ring, such as those offered by AlloyGator, is manufactured from high-resistance composite material and is TÜV and MIRA approved. It fits between the tyre and the wheel rim, forming a peripheral shield that absorbs impacts on contact with a kerb, a low wall or any other low obstacle. Unlike alloy wheel refurbishment, which corrects damage after the fact — and whose cost varies depending on the depth of the scuffs — or wheel wrapping, which is more of an aesthetic solution, the AlloyGator alloy wheel protection kit acts preventatively, before any damage occurs. The two-year warranty that comes with it makes it an even more compelling choice economically.
How to protect your alloy wheels: the AlloyGator principle
The AlloyGator system is compatible with wheels from 12 to 24 inches and is available in a wide range of colours, making it easy to match your vehicle's paintwork or go for a bold contrast. Fitting is carried out by certified approved fitters who have received specific training in the installation technique: the ring is inserted during tyre removal, after which everything is refitted and balanced. The result is discreet, robust, and has no effect on handling or wheel geometry. No drilling, no adhesive, no irreversible modification to the wheel.
