Australia 2013 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Ipanema Sand

I brought a set last month I have 275/40R20 Hankook Ventus ST fitted. Followed the instructions to the letter. Once fitted they looked just like in the video. However, within a few K's on both fronts they started to move out, and get a gap between the tyre and rim. I tried re seating them, more glue, more force, deflating and re fitting. No luck. So after a few weeks of trying to get them to stay in place, I ripped them out and threw them away. Good idea, and in black they looked ok, but I could not get them to remain in place. SWMBO owns this car I get to drive occasionally Smile

Sounds very similar to the picture of the silver ones on another thread.....they had an unsightly gap....but they were newly fitted... prob the pre revised ones

Now i'm off them again....
Anyone have any positive experience with them??

The fix looked quite hopefull too

Back to the drawing board then Mr Alloygator, maybe replace the glue with a black version of this and run a thin bead all way round the wheel Laughing

I had the same problem as Meccles. So I contacted Alloygator and they have sent me what must be a re-re-revised version. Not tried them yet.

I had them on my RRS and one curbing and they popped out and damaged my wing quite bad. Had to get the whole damn thing painted. Since then I have stuck with curbed alloys than scratched body. Never argue with an idiot as he will drag you down to his level and then beat you with experience.
