I actually had a Discount Tire drop one of my wheels face down (from a GTI, not my Z) and it got scratched to hell. I documented the damage and they paid for a refurbished wheel... and I got to keep the old one as a spare. Anyway, now I always verbally tell them to get their best guy on the job bc my wheels are powder coated and will scratch fairly easily. Good luck.

It was a shop recommended by a friend and not Discount Tire. Local family owned and operated, single store. I seen that they sold decent looking wheels and figure they wouldn't damage anything.

Bummer. On the plus side it shouldn't cost too much to fix. Hopefully they will stand up & take care of it. Always best to point out the condition of the wheels as they accept them & as mentioned pictures never hurt.

Best of luck
