Maybe the rash was too explicit and got censured.

Re-upload the pics! That person should 100% pay to have your wheels refurbished to like new. The lack of respects for someones personal property irks me. They knew when they curbed the rims and didn't tell you. It's obvious when metal/rubber grinds on concrete.

Nobody drives my car even my wife who's been in a relationship with me for almost 7 years. I drive her car sometimes and maintain it.

U could install these curb feelers. I've seen buses have them here.

Just went to Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists, I think they are all over the country, but they did a great job fixing a bend and repainting/refinishing all my wheels after hitting a couple really bad potholes, they already had some minor curb rash when I bought it so was happy for an excuse to get them done anyway. They look absolutely brand new now.

Is the machine face of the wheel painted silver on the repair or were they able to duplicate it? The wheel looks great in the pic!

This may be a solution!

Curb feelers look pretty sweet on '74 Eldorado's but not so much on Lexus.

May no longer be able to hit triple digits with that. Too much wind drag.

I have a weird pull toward these old gigantic cars. One of the coolest cars I ever drove was a late '90's Town Car. It was like driving a couch.

I beg to differ. Most case when car meets curb at speed, it does not end in the cars advantage. I think curbs eat car parts, if they can get the car to contact. lol!
