I keep scratching my wheels / alloys

They're all ruined.

My husband is so angry.

What's the deal ? How can I avoid this ? The streets are so tight everywhere. It happens when I'm trying to avoid being hit by cars when we are going through narrow streets.

Or when I park up next to the road while I am trying to park close to the curb.

Does anyone else have this problem ?

My car is being fixed at the moment because I was actually hit by a lorry passing me to close while I was stationary.. and I have a curtesy car and have managed to scratch the wheel on that now. I'm cursed !

If I’m parallel parking on the road I always angle my mirror down so I can see the kerb.

This!!! They're WHEELS that live outside in the rain, mud and dirt. Some people are so precious.

It’s not the rubber but she’s talking about it’s the actual alloy bit in the centre. They’re expensive to get repaired.

It's not precious to want to keep things nice.

We have 5 cars, 4 have wheels that look new and the the 5th we've just go so will be refurbed this summer. It's not difficult to understand that some people care about their vehicles and how they look
