Toyo proxes T1-R have a rim on the tyre to help protect against kurbing.
The size you need for the 180 alloys is 205/40/17 and the cheapest price to buy them at the moment is eBay as I have been looking myself over the last few days for prices Wink

I'm all for giving info you need and against people trying to be funny but i really do think your question has been answered. if you love your alloys that much you wont kerb them. The only thing i can suggest is reverse park and never go forward into a space as your more likely to kerb them doing this.

As kingdom says,

Take your time parking, I take ages to park every car I have to ensure I get no kurbing, I always adjust my mirrors and reverse park.

The last 4 sets of alloys Ive had on 4 different cars haven't been kurbed because of this.

If you kerb your front wheels more than the rears, try 215/40/17 Toyo T1R's [wider tyres] on the front.
It also stiffens the steering up, so less chance of accidental kerb scrapes Smile
