1.5 weeks since delivery and my wife managed to curb both rear wheels in a drive thru. Uhg!

There goes a couple hundred on mobile wheel repair!

You could look into this, after you fix the rims.

My wife gives me crap all the time. “You don’t know where your wheels are!” I answer “I know they are not against the CURB!!

Sorry Dude I feel for you.

arciga18 · 11-15-2018, 10:04 PM

Oh man. Both rears.

Which restaurant chain to cut them off ASAP !

I feel your pain.

Like the wise Sheryl crow once said "the first cut is the deepest"

Man, first curbs are really the worst. You'll grow to get used to them.

Wow! Never heard of those! That might just be what I need! They don’t look that great, but better than curbed wheels.

I was quoted $400 last summer per set of 4. Definitely beats paying $150 fixing each wheel, possible multiple times.

You can buy a DIY kit of Alloygator wheel protector from Amazon for $140.

Bummer, I know the feeling! My wife hits curbs all the time, though never the rears, only the fronts.

I've had them repaired twice now. Within a month of the last repair she curbed them again. Not even sure I'll fix them again until it's time to sell.

let's see some pictures of the devastation to remind us of why we should be careful

No point fixing. They will get curbed again. Atleast wait 6 month for the curbing to stabilizing before fixing.

LOL. My wife is notorious for hitting curbs. I was really hoping the 360 degree camera system would help with the X5, but so far she is forgetting to use it. She said she will try and get better about using it!

Haha! I'm still working on finding a day to take some good photos of the X5. Its been so smokey here and the car is covered in dust/ash...it might be awhile before I get any photos up.

Me: Wow, those 21" wheels look fantastic.

Also Me: My wife will curb those while driving off the dealer lot.

20" wheels it is...

So the 20 inch wheels are narrower than the ones on the F15 but the tires are not. That means the tire bulges out more from the wheel than it did before. Looks to me like that helps to protect the wheel from damage, in “barely” cases we’ll scuff the tire before we scrape the rim...
