well yesturday i want to wal mart to have my tires put on because they were to lowest price , well now i see you 1st they didnt mount to tires correctly, 2nd they crossed tread the lugs so when you try to take them off , they just snap off. so now struss auto is billing them for the job to be done
price 320.00 + TAX and it might be more if they dont make any after market studs and lugs

at least theyre fixing it... the dealer scratched all my rims when putting them back on... they bought me braaaaaand new ones... and i kept one to use as a spare... so im happy
They managed to put a couple scrapes on my wheel. Knowing they would **** it up, I took the wheel in LOOSE (had a puncture in it from a nail.)
I figured "OK, how hard is it to remove a tire, patch it, put it back on and then balance it?"
So I get it back and there's some little scrapes around the edge and a little scrape near the center. After washing it and cleaning it, you basically can't see them but seriously
I actually tried 3 different places before going to walmart, it was the only place open.
They also used a rim clamping wheel weight on the inside edge of the wheel, rather than an adhesive weight like the ones from the factory. Not sure if that matters.

Don't go to Walmart for anything, ever. There's nothing good about that place.
although i do not reccomend going to wal-mart anytime during the day, if you go you must go early in the morning or do not go at all.
Not to veer this thread off topic, but anyone who shops at Walmart is a terribly irresponsible consumer who fails to realize that those super low prices come at a severe cost.
LoL, Walmart for car service? Man, cant you just go to a local wheel/tire shop? I have mine done with the choice of Toyo Tires or Hankook high performance tires on the stock rimz. Plus they give me free wheel balance every 6k miles.
Good deal.
