If you have a 991 Turbo make sure you don't kerb the alloys!

Yep I did 16 miles in my car from dealer to alloygator place. Bloody fantastic. £100 a set fitted.

From the alloygator website:

The “AlloyGator” alloy wheel rim protectors are not recommended for machine polished or diamond cut alloy wheels. Although fitting the product will provide superior protection against kerb damage, due to existing imperfections in the lacquered wheel surface our product may increase the risk of moisture retention and accelerate wheel degradation.

True but for £60, it protects these type of wheels really well - I've had mine on for 43k and three years with no probs so far but plenty of kerbing prevented

Have had 4 x 991 Turbo S, each one with cross spoke centre locks. Each car has had to have its wheels refurbished( some more than once) when it came to sell. On the last one they were bashed up so bad they looked like they had been on the set of "Ben-Hur".

All done though OPC network.

Simple solution, fantastic product---- Alloygator !!

Nobody should ever put these dreadful things on any car, let alone a Porsche - they are truly awful, cause damage, and potentially dangerous.

Clearly some people fall for the advertising and buy them, but I'd rather have scuffed rims.
