Pulled into one of those tiny parking slots (for skateboards I guess) and whilst trying to get as close as possible to the end slot with a curb I scrubbed the right front W H E E L !!!

The rubber of the tire showed zippo scrubbing, but the wheel had a nice 3-4 inch bare metal line where it hit the curb. Boy did I invent some new language at 500 db right in the parking lot.

There's no way except being very carefully to keep that from happening I can see. Fortunately I had some Duplicolor Steel Wheel spray paint I used on my BMW RS1200 that exactly matches Xfire wheels and got it fixed. But there for a minute I was truly unbalanced...
