I actually like the stock rims on the sport, don't really need anything fancier I just want to get this one fixed.
Mine are all curbed. for me I just don't really care about those stock rims......... I think I might put TE37 on it soon.

You really don't like that car do you? Doing everything you can to wreck it. Most people, if they don't like the rims on the car, would just buy new ones and sell off their stock ones to help fund the replacements, because, you know, people don't usually like to flush their money down the toilet.

Some people however have more money than brains.

I'm sure it's okay. He surely isn't hitting the curbs hard enough to stress the hub bearings, ball joints, control arm bushings, tie rods, or anything else...

... right, Gazelle?

They still sell curb feelers, too, like my grandma had on her Lincoln Continental. ;)

Bwahaha!! That brings me lot to laugh at my first youngster car! Back in the 80's, I put these curb feelers (and other cheap gimmicks like chalk lettering tire and a Letraset "TURBO" sign inside the speedometer display...) on a used Ford Escort! Thanks for the memories BarracksSI! :)

Interesting fact.... The only rim curbed while I am driving is the driver side front rim, which is something to do with malfunction honda sensing kit and power steering (I have a thread on that), which make the car loss control and hit a curb on the left hand side of the road. The other 2 rims you have to blame my gf for it. She told me she was try to park the car on the side of the road in front her mon's house and curbed both of the passenger side rims (she is blaming the car is too wide...)
I original plan is sells those rims but this will never happened.

So...you're saying the car drove itself into the curb because Sensing malfunctioned?

At low speeds HS doesn't turn on, nor does it take over steering...and if at speeds above 72km/h, you would have far more damage than some curb rash.

well, the only thing I get is curb rash.. I have the dealer checked, no issue with alignment and other stuff. I had the car set on ACC a 80km/h + LKAS on and I was lighting up a smoke. LKAS will pickup anything that's different coloured, tar marks, shadows. When I am getting my car checked tech told me that LKAS won't work well on Alberta's road since the road surface condition is rubbish. Also at the time it hit the curb the power steering motor is stucked, they warranty replaced it, and informed me again and again do not trust the LKAS too much. No issue so far with ACC, it is solid.

This look dope to me meaning loved the contrast of the red with the black piano. I will be doing the carbon fiber as soon as mine wear out! The coin thing is so good, it should have been done by Honda stock! The highest respects!

that black one with the huge wing is the epitome of boy toy isn't it.

imo, that is the sole reason why the color of these hatches we have can mean the difference between boy toy and something quite livable and quite the opposite or let us just say more conducive to day to day you can live with, doesn't it? Now Imagine this car in PMM and that's exactly situation you come across meaning boy toy in a tux!
Having said that, I gotta get a Sport in champ white/orchid pearl, red or black.
