so they messed up the bead of the rim when mounting the tires?? I always get a guarantee verbally by the manager before they even touch my rims saying if they damage or chip any paint off of the wheels it will be either replaced or reimbursed in full if damaged to any extent. Usually takes them a good hour or hour and a half to mount tires and balance them before they even mount them on the car....but hey when wheels are costly I do everything I can to prevent something from happening.

thats why im happy i worked at a tire shop and i can go back and mount/dismount tires on my wheels myself, so if i screw it up its my fault that and i used to be a tech and know a couple tricks to stretch woot!

Yeah they scratched the outer/inner lip on basically all of them. If these were the real deal.. like if I had just spent 2000 instead of 800, they would have been replaced. I guess they had to be mounted from the back side so the face of the rim was being clamped by the machine, metal on metal. It didn't cost me anything except for some scratches you cant really see. I ordered touch up paint anyway.. if Wheeldude ever gets it shipped. Coils are on their way too so get off it

He's probably referring to the fact that soon midgets will no longer be able to hide in his wheel wells.

just like from now on i wont buy a car unless there are at least 5 different high end coil overs out for it.

(ie, im considering the new tC but i wont buy it till a set of coils comes out that slams it to the ground, and has camber adjustments)
