Nope, but I did watch Hangover 2 and per Alan, there are a lot of magic shows there it seems.

Should be $125-$150 per wheel to correct. Good businesses back their work. Seems like the business is fighting because, unfortunately, you contacted about damage after you left the shop. Their stance could be “You left the shop a happy customer.”

My ex sister in law left me her Mini Couper while divorcing. I took it out and the air sensor lights were on. Took it to the nearest Mini dealer and they not only replaced the tires for free ( Pirellis run-flat) but they fixed her rim as well that had curb rash (she lives in NYC and can't parallel park foshit)...talk about customer service. But she is a hot as shi..t , kind of a model type and who knows how she managed that

This is such bs, i hope they pay for it.

Here is the latest response from the shop "Hunter Engineering was in today and gathered info from our machine and said they will get back with us with their findings. If you want an answer today it is the same as my initial response of I don’t feel it was our fault and I won’t replace or repair any of your wheels."

I told him today I will take this to small claims if I don't hear anything else by end of next week.

Shenlong, sorry to hear that you are going through this. I have always hated when a co. will not man up and make things right for their wrong doing. Hope they understand that "Social Media can either be your best friend or your worst enemy." Hope you get things worked out.

They're sport wheels

If the shop ain't paying for it, just eat it and live with the tiny damage

It's not worth paying money to fix oem wheels

It is if you happen to Like the Oem wheels......

Live and learn. Like several have already mentioned... Remove the wheels yourself and take them to the shop. Politely let them know you are going to raise hell if anything is damaged. Then helicopter parent the tech doing the work. Most likely it will make the tech more cautious. If your presence makes the tech nervous, tell him to stop work immediately and get someone else.

I've caught the tech about to use a pry bar on the wheel weights. I've caught asymmetrical tires about to be mounted backwards. One incident long ago taught me I have to be vigilant in order to prevent stuff like this.

OptionZero · 08-16-2019, 12:58 PM

sorry if i don't cry over some terrible looking and fitting wheels, i guess?

RonRizz · 08-16-2019, 02:17 PM

OP didn't ask you to cry for him, He just wanted to vent. Certainly you telling him you dont like the oem wheels, and they are not worth fixing should make him feel much better about it.
No need to be a ****.
