Curb Wheel Warning

Just a brief warning.... If you scrape a curb with your wheel you stand a chance of damaging the alum wheel rim. The rubber on the 17 inch tires is only flush with the wheel rim. So DONT try "feeling" the curb with your tire... you might get some nasty scraping on the wheel rim. It happened to me.... Bummer!

Sounds like the same problem that exist with the 2nd generation, bad turning ratio or my bad driving. I've scraped all 4 wheels!

tire rubbing

anyone have tire rub in the well ?? I did a u-turn in a parking lot, and at full turn, it scrubbed inside the well when I went forward.. done it about 3 times now.. only does it at full turn. Not cool.. just another f'ing bug with this american designed and built car.

No I haven't hit anything, no scrapes on the wheels, no blisters in the tires, it's done it since I had it.
