Customer reviews seem to fall into Love 'em (they stayed on) or Hate 'em (they fell off).

Just buy them, review them for us all. If they are crap you can return them.
Difficult to see exactly what they are from the pictures.
Maybes we could do a group purchase from the forum for discounts?

I have Alloygators on my 330d but not on the Z. The only reason they are not on the Z is that the wheels are in need of a refurb. So Its not worth fitting them. Choose the colour and they look OK.

+1 on alloy gators - these are more protectors than rimblades are more decorative. IMHO
