I don't think just because he left he's screwed.

Putting the wheels and tires in your car and leaving doesn't equal signing a waiver of claims against the store for their piss-poor work.

Wick is right its the tire spoon making that mark I've done it before on my deep dish wheels for my old vw

I walked in and set the tire in front of the owner and he looked at it and said "Wow, I owe you a new wheel." haha He wasn't happy that the tire guys gave me a wheel like that. I showed him my receipt for the wheels and he got on the phone and ordered me a new one.

Glad the owner is a good guy and took care of it.

Good for you, happy to hear he's a good owner.

Is the wheel useable enough for it to be a spare just in case? Or is it a total loss?

**somethingclever** · 03-26-2012, 04:04 PM

Glad to hear it worked out well.

Wow....good for you!! I'd give him repeat business for standing up for it and treating you right.

They won't give you anything. You left. It sucks I know.

Glad to hear they took care of you Nate! The exact same thing happened to me at a tire shop in Export. The shop in Export handled the situation the same which is all you can ask for. As far as the individual that mounted the tire, if he worked for me he would be unemployed right now. There is absolutely no excuse to send that wheel out like that. I understand stuff happens but there is no way the installer or someone did not notice the damage....unacceptable IMO.

That looks insanely good, great choice in wheels.

**Steve-0** · 03-26-2012, 11:26 PM

Yea that looks amazing. Should have ample traction now too!

On another note, what are you going to do with the damaged wheel?

That looks killer!!!

Is that a cobra body up under your deck?

**PaxtonShelby** · 03-27-2012, 12:03 AM

Wow - your car looks like a jungle cat ready to pounce! Ok - I guess I've been watching too much Lion King lately... Still - that stance is absolutely killer!

It is great to hear the owner treated you right. So can you keep the spare for a...uh...spare??
