Gutter-jumpers, kerb-crushers, pothole-thumpers – if you fall into any of these categories then it's likely you've damaged a wheel or two during your driving career.
In fact, I'm sure most of us have, at one time or another, misjudged a corner or failed to see a pothole and heard that horrible graunching sound. Yes, you've just decorated your alloy wheels with gouges and scrapes, possibly even dents and cracks.
Gutter-rash does happen unfortunately, and these days, getting a wheel fixed professionally is far cheaper than buying a new wheel.
A decade ago smaller rims were the norm, and they were wrapped in cushy, high-profile rubber. The trend toward larger rim sizes, even on fairly non-sports-oriented cars, has infiltrated the automotive world, with 18- and 19-inch rims now commonly seen on fairly conventional family cars. Bigger rims equals lower profile tyres, and therefore more chance of the rim hitting the gutter.
