I am about to sign a lease, should I get the $465 insurance protecting me for any tire or rim dents? This seems good considering how expensive tires and rims are for this car, thoughts?

 

will it protect against scuffs from curbs?

 

I haven't dealt with a lease and how picky they are, but you WILL get dents and dings in your wheels.

I found out that the automatic carwashes that pull your car by the left front through a trough or rail will also damage your wheels. I went to Mike's carwash one time and that was the last time, but my left side rims are pretty f'd now. I am currently driving an 01 S4 with stock wheels.

For that amount though, you would probably be better off just replacing a wheel, if needed, than buying that insurance. Also, shouldn't you auto insurance cover damaged wheels that would need replacement anyway?
