kbad Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I had until today 4 immaculate (was so proud of them) Rays but today I scuffed :oops:my front kerbside wheel - so I have now lost my bragging rights in front of my 13 year old son who took to the dentist with the offending kerb. I must now look for a refurb - I don't know which is more painful scuffing the wheels or my carelessness in trying to perfectly parallel park - I think my pride in my parking abilities has led to scuffed wheels .

kbad Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 methinks its a perfect opportunity for the JR21 Serious Concave Wheels coming soon to Tarmac Sportz May 2016as a replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne370Z Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I was gutted when I caught mine against the kerb when it wasn`t very old but a smart repair sorted it out good as new for about £50 I think it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I scuffed mine within 40mins of putting them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 my new wheels been on for 6 months now, still scuff free. but if i did scuff them, i wouldn't be that worried - cars are for driving, not for looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delz0r Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If you drive it as a daily then its impossible to not scuff them. I had mine refurbed 2 years ago, they lasted 1 year without any scuffs. However, last year I decided to buy somewhere to live and the stress of that and moving stuff around - I managed to scuff every single wheel in a couple of months!

Juggalo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If you drive it as a daily then its impossible to not scuff them. I've not scuffed my daily. But I didn't put low profile tyres on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukeraa Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I scuffed my front passenger side within a week of owning the car! It's my daily and I was still getting used to it. That's the only alloy that I've scraped though, the rest of my Rays are looking perfect. When I used to work at McLaren we had this Mercedes AMG GT S come in for us to have a look at and it's rear passenger wheel was absolutely destroyed! Whoever drove it couldn't park to save their life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
