When you say curbed your rims do slight knocks count? |

One of my new 22'' - kerbed about 36 hours - and I like to think I'm careful!

by kerbed i mean when the wheel makes contact with a kerb and you hear the kind of grinding/scraping sound that sends shivers up your spine, making you wince and screaming, noooo! doesnt have to have chunks of alloy missing but a battle scar will be apparent.

Not on the RRS yet, touch wood. Let the SWMBO drive the MG to Tesco in Sunbury on Thames and some prat in a merc pulled out onto the wrong side of the road and SWMBO mounted the kerb to avoid it so one badly kerbed NS front alloy |

Mine was delivered on the Friday and I reversed it into a concrete pillar in a car park in Guildford on the Saturday. Well done me! The alloys lasted a while until they got kerbed though |

Not got the RRS yet but on the current BMW i went all the way to scotland to get new alloys. Shattered when i finally arrived back in london. Woke up a few hours later, and was watching the telly. Mum then goes 'you know those new alloys you brought - ones already scratched alot'. No guesses as to what she did while i was sleeping |

Never kerbed the RRS, however got my M3 in Nov 07, lasted until i was being a cheap skate and went to save 3 cents per $ on the exchange rate recently, and popped into solihull town centre, and managed to kerb the left front wheel up the kerb entering a car park! great.. worth the saving, don't you think! Past: Bmw M3 Coupe 57, 335d Coupe 56, Audi RS4 06, RR Sport TD HSE 05,
