Angry Got new shoes and new chips!

Got my Kumho all seasons installed today and as I was inspecting the rims for scratches there were some new chips on the outside of one of the rims(still stock rims) and man it was chipped to the metal! Damn I was so pissed! Is this fixable?

You should go back to the shop that installed the tires/wheels and have them replace the damaged wheels.

I did more research on wheel weights and didn't know about the stick on wheel weights before bringing my car for tire install . Crap now I have the regular weights. Gonna give the shop a call on Monday. The dude that installed my tires happened to be the owners son and he owns an STI

Should I laugh at the fact that you don't have a stock boost gauge and I do?

if you wanted to sure but imo it seems like a half *ss job power up front no power in the back. as far boost gauge stock they should have but it's not that big of a deal unless your tuning you can drive comfortably without knowing what psi your at

just like the last post I'm not disagreeing they did a half *** job on the clutch IMO and half the people here were lied to by the salesmen but still the winf=dow thing to me is huge all with the cranks or all with the power



BTW sorry about hi-jacking the thread

It hasn't bothered me ONE bit. I mean really, is it THAT important to be able to control your rear windows from the front? Are you starved for more cabin air that you need to automatically roll down your rears?
