I can't believe what I've done to my wheels! What a nightmare!!! :(

When I went out for dinner yesterday, I went into a Plaza w/ tight corners entering the car park (all parkings in Hong Kong has tight corners), I was trying to get closer to where I get the ticket, I CURBED my wheels!!!!!

I curbed my wheels which I only had them on for one week! So sad :'(

Although It wasn't harming the structure of the rim, it does now have a big mark on the right front wheel... :ermm:

:( :'( :(

This happened to me at a car wash. I was livid! 2 weeks old and already a ding.

oh no... not on those lovely OZs

How bad was it?

I had an 01 Acura CL-S before and I curbed the front wheel on the 3rd day after I got the car. The wheel design was dumb because the spokes are actual sticking out beyond the tire quite a bit.

Really sorry to hear that.

Can it be polished out?

gf366 09-26-2004 08:02 PM

It's about 2.5 inch long, and there is a small one next to it...

I think I can take it to some wheel place to get it fixed, but I ordered a new one today already... I just can't stand a new set of rims w/ curb marks.... :'(

In case I curb it again.... :P
