I was thinking about getting a set of red ones. As my alloys are already curbed up i would only be using them to cover the damage. I can't decide whether they look naff or not. opinions?

Or just get your wheels refurbed, and learn how to park?

getting the re-furbed is pretty expensive, and its not through parking. I live out in the sticks and its being caught out by oncoming cars on the tight coners around my arears. Most of the markings are through the choice "curbs my wheels or mash up my front end"

IMO they are a good idea at the moment with the state of the fucking roads . If i had a set my wheels would still be as new .

Not sure about the crap colours but in black or silver they are hardly noticable at a glance . Shame they cant do them in 19".

well the biggest mark on my wheels also came with a smashed wing mirror from the on coming car. so if i wasn't against the curb im pretty sure i would have had to replace a wing.
