Just knicked a piece of broken curb and it took a nice chunk out of my newly purchased wheels. Makes me sick to my stomach. I'm so particular I might just have to buy a new wheel to be happy. FML

Louisiana blows. They don't take care of their roads.

Why not send it out to get refinished?

I once Knocked out a chunk of metal out of polished alloy wheel on my o4 GT by hitting a curb.
Discount tire sent it out for repair and it came back perfect, cost $100.

The front end of my 2012 convertible is so low that I scrape it on high or even moderately high curbs. I know that I should not pull up too far to the curb, but sometimes I forget. Most cars are high enough so that they don't have a problem. I cringe when I hear that scraping sound when I back up from the curb. It amazes me that some of you lower their mustangs.

you need to invest in a front end parking sensor. Relatively easy to install and will give you piece of mind when parking.
