Every set of my Altimo's have had the problem, and not one of the wheels was scruffed or scratched. I take great pride in not damaging my alloys as know how expensive they are to replace and nothing looks worse than a scuffed alloy on a kerb. That feeling is awful!
UK road salt does not do this to all alloys, so the problem has to be with specific ones.

course you can disagree...didnt mention kerbing as i havent kerbed mine and plenty others i have seen have had no damage other than tiny chips from dirt,salt etc and its not just altimos...so er,it does.you can be as careful as possible but unfortunately you will never stop your wheels getting chipped...although the diamond cut finish is admittedly less resistant as the only protection is lacquer not paint and lacquer as with a lot of other wheels.
