Dynamic Turtle Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Interested to hear user reviews on these. Are they too obtrusive / obvious? Do they last more than a week? If you scuff the plastic how do you replace individual rims? Seem a little expensive at sixty odd quid for 4...

ATTAK Z Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Much better to drive/park carefully IMO ... not the prettiest of things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Ive got a set which I haven't used for sale in silver up for £30 plus postage. As I didn't fit them in the end I don't really have an opinion of how good they are but there are a couple of old threads about them: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/43003-alloy-rim-protectors http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/33835-alloy-gator-rim-protector-fitted-now-tested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I was "told" that they won't fit onto the 370 wheels due to the shape of the rim ........... it was a long time ago though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 My mate uses them on his VW van, they don't look too bad but i wouldn't want them on my car. Better to just pay attention when parking IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) I think they're a brilliant invention. Whenever I see a car with them on, I know that person can't drive for toffee so I make a conscientious effort to park my own car as far away as possible Without them, how else would you know? Genius idea. Edited August 15, 2016 by Ekona 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 I heard that they can cause/accelerate corrosion because they trap water around the rim edge. No evidence to back this up but the theory could stand up. Ive seen quite a few bits of damage caused by magnetic signs on car paint (rusting/lacquer failure) Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Avoid, just learn to drive to the standard expected of someone who owns a decent car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they're cheaper wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
