Like what most have said, curb rash occurs when your wheels come in contact with a hard surface which results in a rough, jagged, metal-exposed, and paint-free finish of your wheels. Daily driving, however, will inevitably result in paint chips, gouges, and minor nicks, or even cracks. All very annoying of course, but unavoidable if the gem that you call your car is your daily driver. Let's move on OP
