Default Issue with alloy wheels

They don't like those stupid curbs around gas pumps :-(






Fortunately I found a company that took the wheel and returned it 2 days later looking like new. Lesson learned by me to avoid anything curb looking with low profile tires.

That's a bummer. I have some of that on my current car. Did you take it to a chain store? If so which one? Also how much did the repair cost?

Do you have the 19 or 20 inch wheels?

Looks like a big gouge in the tire sidewall in the third picture.

That would be a big concern.

What size tires and rims?
