Curb rash- WITH CELL PIC

I hate it... parked my car and rolled over a drain grate with was depressed into the ground. The car dived towards the curb slightly fast that I anticipated and I scraped the crap out of my right front wheel.

Very upsetting..

Dealerships sells wheel protection packages on new cars, with the risk of denting a rim or scraping the things, as well as what rims cost today, try calling your dealer that sold you the car or anyone around you, they resurface wheels, body shops do it to, you just scratched the paint and clear coat

that sucks man. not as bad as the kid that came into my shop the other day with his dads RX-8. he was driving like an idiot being a showoff and decided it would be a good idea to jump the curb with low profile tires on and split the rim from the inner bead edge to the center of the rim. then he asked me if i could fill the crack with glue and tire sealer...it still boggles my mind

I let my brother's best man drive my car during his wedding and his dumb*** curbed one of my 07 rim trying to park a narrow space when there was a bigger parking space that he passed. Still pissed about it because the car was flawless at the time.
