Default Curb Checked...

So I was at theATM today and I went to pull out and this old Jalopy dodge truck drive right bye me at about 30mph, and I had to swerve left and was still going forward, the left rear rim caught the curb and left about a 3 inch scrape on the lip..oh I was so pissed. Im guessing ima have to buy a new rim. lol Or test Drive another one and switch it..... oh wait.. jk. Thats illegal. any suggestions besides watching out for old dudes in dodge jalopies?

You can get tires that have a thicker sidewall that help protect the rims.
