Kurbing Wheels

[Kazi]

A rare trip to Leicester left me gutted!! Going through a narrow street and all of a sudden, thud and scrape!!

Upon inspection, my front near side alloy looks like its been chewed up by godzillar!!

Really not happy by it!!

Sure its happened to alot of us on here.

about £50 should see it looking new again tho from those mobile repair guys

so all is not lost

I'd keep you're eye on it. It may start to at some point.

For me Its been one of those months where everythings against me. If its going to go wrong - the its going to be in Feb!!

Could do with winning the lottery! :D

It's not just the alloys u damage though ....... when you start kerbing the alloys, you find that the tracking is also affected, and the allignment of the wheels are out ....... and the IS being as sensitive as it is ........ I'd get it checked !

only joking not that bad, don't think i kerbed the standard wheels once, but im just driving real carefully as not to scuff these ones.

i have the tracking being done on saturday anyway, i spent hours last saturday driving about looking for somewhere to do it, and they where all busy
