You'll need to find a specialist who does diamond cut wheel repairs. Google that term for local sources.Can only be done a limited number of times incidentally. Seehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUdLDSiHNX8

I fit them on mine immediately at the showroom. I also got a discount on them.Well it maybe a bit too late but I would go to Johann and ask him to have alloygators fitted. Ask for a discount. They saved mine big time !!!! You know how kerbs and streets are in Malta.Regretfully, I do not know anyone who fixes diamond cut alloy wheels

I spent £165 having these things fitted before I collected the car. I don't think they are Alloygators and the dealer didn't know, they just use a guy who comes along and fits them.Today I was forced closer to a curb on a bend in a carpark than I would like. I heard and felt the contact with the curb. Upon inspection all that can be seen is some scrubbing of the plastic protector. £165 well spent it seems.
