If you bash my nice alloy wheels I get worked up because 1)they're expense to replace or re-finish. 2) Now they look crappy 3) People see the marks on my wheels and think I'm a bad driver which I'm not 4) The scuff wheels lower my trade value when I finally sell my car. And if that's not enough reasons I can think up more reasons.

Because alloy wheels are expensive and are there to make the car look good, if they are scuffed they make the car look crap. I'd get worked up if you bashed my alloy wheels on kerbs lol.

Cause it costs a lot of monry to get them fixed. Also if a man does it they like to think they are better drivers than women so them scrapping a wheel on a kerb would be unheard of. I think not

Alloy isn't as strong as steel, so it will deform if it hits anything hard enough, and usually that means the wheel needs replacing, which costs money. It's not rocket science.

Because the wheels are expensive an easily damaged like when you hit them on a curb.

'cos it's not like you can just "polish out that little scratch"...it knackers them. Alloys are soft metal (compared to steel rims) and mark very easily, bend & go out of shap if bashed on the kerbs.
As a comparison...a woman might get a bit miffed if we scraped her new shoes along the wall - they'll still 'work' - but are basically destroyed.

Because the things are expensive. Some are a grand for a set. Plus it looks tatty when your wheels are beat up and you know how materialistic blokes are when it comes to cars. I am so glad I failed my test.

A- It's expensive !
B-Makes the wheel look like cr*p
C-Upsets the balance/alignment
D-Can damage the tyre sidewall (try a tyre blow out at 70mph and you'll see what I mean!)

Because, for one, it ruins appearance, 2nd it could cause slow leaks in the tire, and 3rd it will most usually cause the balance to be off. Why not bash your head on the curb instead? Geeeeeeeeeeez
