Who has curb rash?

I recently had my stock wheels replaced under warranty and one already has a bit of curb rash and I don't even know why.


Oh well. I'm trying to decide whether I want to buy new wheels or just keep the stockers and use them for summer and winter.

Not sure, go check!


Also... what's everyone's opinion? Spend $715 for wheels or save up for more mods?

I haven't curb rashed mine (owned the car 3 months) but the previous owner did. I'll be getting Rota's next spring so it's no biggie. As for me, I can't think of a time I curbed my old car, it's entirely possible though

Finallly getting new wheels after 3+ years of trashing the stockers. Had the car about 2 weeks and scraped them in the narrow bank drive-thru lane. Then I would constantly scrape the passenger side on the curb. Having no rim protection on the Advans didn't help. I don't know how you guys keep your rims unscathed. Thats why I've waited so long to replace. Can't imagine spending a couple grand on wheels with my parallel parking skillls.
