What do you think of 'Alloygator' wheel protectors?
I am having new alloy wheels fitted to my SEAT Ibiza Cupra and came across ‘Alloygators’ fitted for protection. Have you heard of these? If so I would value your opinion of how good they are.

Depends how hard the brakes have to work. By keeping dust off the wheels they also keep air off the brake discs and prevent them from cooling properly.
