Well guys, got my first scrape today. It's on the front driver's side. Damn curbs! I'll post pics when it clears up here in the wet state. Hopefully I can get it fixed.

That is why I park at least 6 inches from the curb at all times (or just avoid curbs in general)... thought I rarely nailed the curb in the my old car with hub caps.

Damn Rashoodz, already? Didn't you just get your wheels?

Yeah, I scraped my rear wheel, didn't even complete a month! It was heart breaking for a week, got used to it.

Sorry to hear, I feel your pain. I was puling into my driveway and I cut in too early and nicked my wheels on the curb.

2 years and 50k miles of trouble free driving, and it happened :/

That's always painful... even for stock rims.

I drive my car like a semi... I stay like 3-5 feet from the curb.

At least mine lasted 5 months, oh well s*** happens.

one thing about fixed clear over chrome lips, the fixin process takes off the clear thus forcing you to use Mothers Billet Polish for the lip, only problem with this is~ you end up with a lip that is WAYYY SHINYER than the other 3

I always seem to find a way to screw up a new set with a curb early on. The sting goes away once you can get yourself to stop looking at it and thinking about it.

Or...excuse for new rims.

Believe me it looks worse in person. And it sticks out like a sore thumb cuz the scrape is white.
