So, I pull into the US bank drive thru, been going straight the whole way thru and had no problem... Mind you ive never curbed a rim. And im pulling out straight as I was going in, and I hear "cccrrkk"... First thought, "well that rims f***ed". So I get out and see this..... Its not a straight curb throughout... I talked to some friends that go there and they told me they have done the same thing... Im going to go b**** at somebody.

if it is another color like black, gunmetal or even white, etc... you can get some wheel paint/touch up to fix it up.

be careful on drive thru's, parking beside a curb or parking meters... it's better to be far from the curb/wall (that you have to open you doors to reach out) than to be close and scratch them wheels or even the bodykit

That's one reason I'm now on 195/55R15s. Curb rash is a thing of the past. Which is important since I parallel park beside old hand cut granite curbs unfortunately, they angle out all over the place.

with aftermarket rims you do have to watch where you drive and take corners at a wider angle...I scrubbed my stock rims twice in the rear going thru parking lots and taking curves too sharp...banks and fast food drive thrus with their curbs are murder...I always go inside for carryout...hope you can get them fixed or replaced for reasonable cost...
