Noooo!!!
I scratched my rim!!! was going to th bakn to get money for my car bra and on the way out I put a 1.5" scratch on the lip of my driver's side rear rim 
... I've only had my car for 5 days or so... damn me and my stupidity... I was thinking "iono if I should try this... maybe I should back up" and I went ahead and heard a "SCRATCH!" I guess the only thing to do now is get 19"s ... j/k j/k it's not that noticable but you guys can sympathize with me on just the fact of you knowing th problem is there it bothers you...

Can't believe that happened!
That really sucks man! I've learned that taking chances is a 
. This happened to my Integra GSR when I first got it...trying to push the car to the limit and make a sharp turn. Apparantly, I oversteered and rubbed the rear passenger wheel across the curb. With this new car (got my '03 CL-S 6MT on 8/1/03), I am very careful not to park near curbs. At work, I park out there and hog up 2 spaces so nobody parks around me.
Another suggestion, if you don't have to, don't take your car out to those automatic car washes because the rails will really scratch up your wheels!
Try not to think about the scratch, maybe it will go away!

Ah yer still on stock tires 
That's what happens. If you switch to someting else you'll be ok. I have michelin piolet sports and haven't *cross fingers, knock on wood* a scratched rim yet.
