I hear you. In a moment of inattentiveness while parallel parking I ran the front tire up and over the curb. Getting out of the car I thought, that’s an expensive mistake but was shocked there was not a nick or scratch in the chrome wheel.

On our C6 I slightly curbed one of the painted wheels (in 102k miles of driving), and had a couple with minor scratches from tire machines. The curb job was fixed in a couple of hours for a hundred bucks, and the other dings I touched up myself. I don't want to think what that would all have cost me with chrome.

The front track isn't wider than the rear. You just weren't perfectly parallel to the curb. That's very difficult to judge.

Better order some old fashion curb feelers........ or use the tilt feature on your mirror.
