Yes they have "rim protectors" depends how hard you hit the curb though, can't see it being all that good myself

if you slightly touch a curb when parking you may be lucky with rim protector tires but if u hit them at speed nothing is gonna stop you hitting the alloy!

As adam has said some tyres do have rim protection, but if you hit a curb hard enough it wont protect your alloy.
