I curbed two and a third one some guy hit my rim. Fixed two under rim protection. Third one is a fresh one. Just want to hear other folks experience. I got the 21 inch designer rim.

Many. When picking up my Taycan Turbo S this year, I decided to take out a dealer insurance that would cover 8 wheel repairs in a 3 year period (covering my summer and winter wheels) and since then I've curbed zero wheels. Go figure!

Damn. Yours is limited. I don't think that mine is.

2 in 3 months, but have an insurance. The tyres are very low profile and even a light touch to the curb is causing damage. It causes the wheels to cut the protector of the tyres after that ???

God bless the insurance. Well of course we paid for them.

The first time was three days after picking up my CT with 21 inch wheels. (Looks great but what a nuisance.) Three more in the subsequent six months -- two at once when some guy crossed into my lane and I nearly had to jump a curb to avoid him. Took out some rubber from a tire as well. Glad to have insurance!

So taking out the insurance worked as intended! :CWL:

0 so far, don't really park next to the curbs that much though since it's there's plenty of parking in the US.

Stop gloating.
Definitely not gloating. I hit something in a work zone in my Cayenne (21" RS Spyder wheels) that took a chunk out of the wheel and shredded the tire. I always purchase wheel and tire warranty now.
