The rims are curb magnets? You sure it isn’t the driver?So I've now managed to curb 2 of the 4 tire rims in my 3 week old SR+.These rims are curb magnets! Can someone recommend touchup paint for a 21's stock aero wheels?
Nope, definitely the rims. The one I curbed this morning the cover itself is scratch-free.

Here is another option to protect your wheels from curb rash:
abstractocean.com
I have used these. They do work and are very easy to install. The only drawback is that when you have a tire changed, you have to replace the band.
I also found a local mobile wheel repair service that charges $100 to repair and paint a damaged wheel. Given that the wheel bands cost $119 for the set, I decided to forgo the wheel bands and put the money toward repairs if needed.
