If you want a rim protector to actually protect your rims, then Alloygators is the way to go. Mine took a real beating but did save the rims. This occurred mainly during my early days with the car when I was still not judging curbs accurately. Eventually they were looking so tatty that I removed them, but since I am now familiar with the car, I opted to change to Evannex's product. These are a little more decorative, a heck of a lot easier to install, but I suspect will not give much real protection. I think that one scrape and they will be erased off the rim. Nevertheless, I think they look good and add some pizazz, so will put them on again when they finally get damaged, probably when I change tires.
