Well, long story short... took the wheels in to get monuted...

they cracked 6 of the 8 center caps, and put a 4" scuff on the one 28's lip... it's not that noticeable, but me being a perfectionist, it's just ****ing eating away at me...

the shop says they will pay for the centers, but is telling me there's no way his machine could have done that to my wheel...

i'm like WTF...? it happened here... either your machine did it, or some fuggin grease monkey dropped my ****...

So, what do i do now...? get a lawyer...? I mean, this is gonna cost me over 500 to replace, and i doubt i'll even be able to get my hands on one for a few months... it's not like these LE28's are just laying around in warehouses...

i'm having no ****ing luck with this car over the past 2 weeks... i'll probably get car jacked and have a broomstick shoved up my ***, when i take my trip to Z1 auto Friday...

i'll post a few pics tomorrow if i have a few minutes... it just sickens me everytime i think about it... which is every ****in minute...

 

hate to here that man...i dont know what to tell u to do. but i fell your pain i had my tire shop put my new tires on and they scratched th **** out of them...then they where like they where like that *******! I say blow there place up (jk) but Good luck.\ u have a sweet ride

 

the thought crossed my mind...

 

ouch

 

pm me for bomb recipes........jk

i better put that-----------------^ dont want noone to take me serious

 

ahhh, the joys are owing and customizing a ****in car...



shoulda left well enough alone, and just kept the 37's... i could have used that 2K for a rotor upgrade... oh well, live and learn...

i will get satisfaction though... one way or another...

 

That sucks, it seem you are having all the luck. Didn't you just post that your window got all scratched up when u got them tinted. I remember when I took one of my wheels in to get a flat fixed. The wheels were gunmetal, and when i got them back there were all sorts of scratches on the lip of the rim. I was like wtf, but the shop just stated that the machine they use to remove the tire can scratch up the wheel. It sucks but I lived with it. I feel your pain

 

I feel your pain my. I have my ****ing computer out of my car tring to install the xede and the screw driver broke off in the harness then I undid the wrong wire now I can get the broken piece out or the wire out. Wife is going to try to fix it I just think me tring to save $100 is going to cost me a tow plus someone to fix it. ****

 

ouch... i would definitely seek to speak to someone in a higher management position, and tell them to FIX THAT SH*t

 

This kind of stuff always happen to me. You try to do something a little nicer/better, but you break/ruin/lose/scratch something else in the process.

Freakin' dealer scratched every one of my stock Enkei putting winter tires on. Of course, the scratches were there already . I'm a perfectionist also, but I'm trying to become more laid back so everything doesn't **** me off so much.

Good luck with your rims...

 

Where did you go, so I know not to patronize them? It's tough to find a place to mount low-profile tires on rims properly. Very tough.

 

just a local place called Henise tire...

they gauranteed me they wouldn't scratch the rims, which is the only reason i went there... i usually travel 45 minutes to a shop in Allentown to do tire mounting for me...

****ing morons...

 

i had the same problem too. i got mine done at goodyear. they scrathced my rims up because their supose to turn the rim around so that it would just scratch the back... plus, i went on a friday to get it done and they broke/rip on of my rims so i had to order one that night and get it done the next day

 

Always keep a bat in your trunk in the event that things don't go your way I'd also like to know where (i.e. Discount Tire) you had the tires mounted.

 

Diesel! You had the problems with the Tint place too, right!????? Man, you gotta take some DIY classes...perhaps evolutionm.net oughta start a fixer-up-evo-tool tele-thon for ya! Good luck bro!
