It's probably happened to the best of us but not calculating the turn in ratio when you're in a little bit of a hurry and then you end up hitting the Curb an scratching your 22 inch alloy, wheels and
You get rim rash. I hit a curb going about 10 miles an hour. She's probably fine, but I'm just stressing.😱

Ugh, sorry about that.
It is painful stuff for us car lovers.

Yes it is man im just Over thinking it,I did some damage to her eternally like the wheel might've bent in Or the camber is off, alignment Hopefully not

It doesn’t look to be a hard impact.
Alignment may be thrown off, but it shouldn’t be bent.

[FrankyepezM1]

Yeah, you're probably right. It was the back end so probably harder to throw that off.🙌🏼 appreciate it man thanks

Got nothing to offer here other than to say, yeah, I curbed a wheel. Pure dumbassedness. No excuse. My bad.

It happens.

Ouch! I feel you

If that’s any consolation - you are definitely not alone! My story is that I did that same thing just AFTER picking up and mounting freshly repainted set of 21” alloys on my previous car. It was literally my first or second outing with that set on the car. Ugh, that HURT

Your scratch looks like something a proper shop can repair with no issues

OP, been there done that, like within the first few hrs from getting my new, back then 2019 BMW X3 M40i...to the tune that I had to repair the rim..

We’ve all been there. Painful when it happens and flash backs for a few days. Doesn’t look bad.

Unrelated/related to the topic….. when I purchased mine, one of the wheels had a little curb rash. Took that into account when negotiating and figured I was just get it repaired. After a handful of calls/discussions from shops in my area, I’ve been told machined-face finished wheels can’t be (or they weren’t able to) repaired to the original finish.

Is this true and/or has anyone been able to refinish their machined-face wheels from curb rash?

See my link above. They color matched with paint and it’s pretty good.
