Since it looks like most people on this forum are purchasing such expensive rims, how are you all keeping them from getting screwed up.

Any one have any suggestions on how to take care of rims that are $3500+

I live in NY so i have to park near curbs alot, any suggestions on how to avoid curbrash etc.

 

Just be real careful when parking near a curb.

 

park on the curb..u'll be free or incoming traffic but prone to sidewalkers..curb rash is damn near impossible to miss but u just have to judge where the car is and how far away u are from the curb. since i got my car, havent curbed it once but the rims have curb rashes everywhere...also helps that i have 60 series tires.

 

im guessing the 60 series tires means... a wide tire that extrudes out past the rim. lol and how do you have curb rash if you never curbed it.

 

In a place like NYC you will get curb rash. No matter how careful you will be you will eventually curb it. "The first cut is the deepest"

 

but brO i cant! they are black rims they will look sOOOO fd up.. T.T

 

Bah black rims with rash = sharpie, how easy...

 

lol indeed

 

you need curb feelers!!! they will look cool on your car!!!!
don't forget to post pics!!!!

 

i curbed my wheels once... cost 25 bucks or so to fix.

 

I cant stress this enough: anytime you have tires put on or off make sure you bring it to someone that has plenty of experience with low profile tires. Curb rash can be easily caused by a tire machine and a rookie mechanic.

 

Ahahahahaha LOL...i never really laughed out loud till this post.

 

Switch to 14" wheels and 70 series tires. LOL

 

keep a can of touch up paint handy.

 

Gee, makes you miss the 60's.
Ya Got a neckers **** on that thing?
