Haha, i did that too. Isn't it the one of the worst sounds/feelings in the world? I'm just glad i did it with the stock rims. i'd be devistated if i did it with new rims.

 

I'm about to loan my car to my father in law and my biggest fear is he'll curb it. Seeing the picture does not make me feel any better.

 

thats me also but x3

 

it should be repairable....the wheels are painted and there are companies that will repair that. I had a mobile wheel repair guy come out to my work and fix mine (it wasn not as bad as yours) He has a big truck with a paint booth in it. He sanded down the scratch and repainted the area and cleared it. He did a great job...there is a SLIGHT variation in color but only if its been pointed out to you...much better than a scratch imo. I think he charged me $75 cash--took him about 2 hours. well worth it

 

Well, I might as well join the club too. I bought my car on Friday, and managed to curb two of them the very same night in San Francisco. Parallel parking on the left side of the road has never been my strong suit. I literally had nightmares about it and was going to drop 6-700 the next day to buy two new wheels...

 

i sorry, but you guys need those curb indicators installed on ur cars. haha. Those long metal clips that are usually seen on the buicks. haha!

 

Damn it, I just curbed mine yesterday. I was going to get coffee...my eyes weren't able to focus yet. I feel so stupid.

 

Sorry to hear the curb rash.
try this http://www.wheelsamerica.com/

they fix curb rashes. I am going to bring my Volks to them to fix.

 

I curbed one of the wheels on my old 350Z.. not sure how/when.. just noticed it one day.. but the scratches on my front left quarter panel that are gonna cost $250 to respray.. well, that makes me forget all about wheel rash :/

 

i always end up curbing the wheels on my passenger side. it is a horrible feeling. kinda like a root canal. luckily for me though is that the goons who stole my 2 wheels grabbed the damaged passenger side ones. so i'll be good when my insurance claim goes through. still gotta pay that $500 deductable though..

 

welcome to the curb crew..

 

nice one this weekend i got curbed as well but not my fault! i went through an automatic (dont flame me i was late for skydiving and it was my only option i never go through em) anyways i went in and it guides u on tracks and i got in nice and good, i got guided in and everything looked great until half way through i hear a scrape noise i come out and mi front left rim is f'd alllllll the way around so now im getting a new rim and trying to deal with Coop to see if theyre gona pay for it ...... im sad but learned a good lesson. no matter how late dont rush the G!

 

Guess I'm not alone

 

an automatic what? car wash?

 

yea and i know i know i never use em but i was at a popular hwy and going to a killer sweet town on the lake so i wanted a clean car and was in a rush to go skydiving, the wash pulls u through in neutral and nothing touches your car in theory but little did i know it would scuff my rim... and i talked to the manager and GM and they are not fixing or reimbursing me so i hate coop right now!DOMO
