Sure if you spend all your time driving along kerbs they will try to ask you to chip in for replacement wheels under warranty but it doesn't sound like you are remotely going to be in that camp...

Agreed. I have 2 instances kerbing on one wheel one since last year and there is no corrosion on the kerb narks. Centre of wheel - yes white worm.

For those out there that say it's just a car, and one of those things, each to their own...

Neither of my kerbings were due to parking.
One, I wasn’t even in the car when it happened! I’d parke about a foot from the kerb in snowy conditions. When I shut the door, the car slid into the kerb. That is really is just one of those things.
I haven’t repaired it because repairing diamomd cut is pointless. They will corrode before the year is put if recut.
I haven’t replaced it because £600 for a wheel is daft when they are prone to corrosion even without Kerbing.
