lol, 2 on the same wheel. I did them both within the first 1000 miles, damm I was pissed, I feel your pain! The second one took a nice chunk off. Adjusting from a sedan to a sports car wasn't too hard, but damn the staggered setup threw me a bit. I never curbed the Maxima the Z replaced once in over 3 years.

No rash on these wheels. When I hit a curb I tend to bend my wheels so they have to be replaced! I have not scratched a wheel but I have bent 6 so far (3 each in 2 accidents).

1st night I had the car.. parallel park.. 1" rash on front right wheel. 
I'm the only one who has noticed it, thankfully.
2nd night, I clipped a fiberglass ladder hanging in my garage - it felland scraped up the outer wheel well on the passenger side. Again, I'm the only one who has noticed it.

No! I'm waaaay too nervous about hitting the curb to go near! It also helps that I have sticky tires and the steering wheel is communicative enough where I can feel the change of asphalt/concrete so I know when to stop.

Curb rash, is something that makes me very unhappy. I'm sorry that this has happened to you.. perhaps one of this search will help you if you decide to repair it.

Yeah, scuffed one the first week I bought the car (kinda difficult to place the corners on this car before you're used to it). I was parking along the curb ni Chicago, on a narrow street, so I was trying to get close to protect my baby from getting clipped by some idiot driver, and I turned into the idiot driver and put a 1 1/2" scuff on my front rim. Then, last Friday night, pouring down rain, waiting to make a right hand turn from a stop sign, and bounced my front rim off the curb. I was so pissed. Fortunately, it's the same rim that had the rash from before. Still pissed though. Feel your pain.
