3 months I've had my new BMW and I was being ultra careful with my 19 rims, today I parked in the town, I came back and I was well and truly wedged in front and back so I had to do a back forwards, back forwards to get out, caught both the front and back alloy I'm gutted grrrr

Did you forget to add the inspector gadget wheels on your extras?

Next time just push the cars front and behind very slowly with the car

Why do you have 19 rims for your car though? You must have a huge shed and/or garage.

Why not? A lot of the BMW M Sports kits come with 19" wheels.

Lol that did make me giggle

I kerbed mine after about 200 miles. I nearly cried and didn't speak to anyone for several hours

At least you didn't kerb your wheel the same week you had the same wheel refurbed

I'm leaving it with the chip, it's a £105 reminder every time I look at it.

Console yourself by finding a good alloy refurb place locally so you can return them to as good as new or change to a different colour.

I feel for you

I remember me having the 17" wheels I always wanted on my Mk1 Nissan 200SX, and I kerbed them , I cried!

now many years later, I have a more modern civilised car, I upgraded my wheels to the sports version wheels and I've had them a few months now, and so far, not kerbed them, I got them at a great price second hand, they where mint when I bought them and still are
