OK, a little background first....... I've had custom wheels on my cars for years and always been very anal/careful of anything happening to them. About 3 weeks ago I take delivery of my new M3 Cab, it's the greatest car I've ever owned and I vow to always keep it in pristine condition. Flash forward to saturday morning, I'm at the gym, parked in a spot by the curb so my car is protected.....as I pull out I scrape my wheel on the cement, putting a gouge in the rim where it meets the tire!!!!!! AUGGGGGGHHHHHH:mad: I can't believe how stupid I was, I'm still kicking myself...... Today I look for a quality wheel shop to repair it for me.......

Sorry to hear about your wheel...

I usually perfer curb spots too. This way, at least one side of the car is protected... ;)

However, I usually back up into the spot. I find it easier to forget about the curb when you're taking off (late for something, etc) than when you're parking... ;)

Anyway, just thought I'd run this one by you. It's worked for me... :thumb:
