DE, are you doing ok today? you seem a bit testy, even in other threads...

So here is what happened:
The alignment showed the toe was off on both front tires and the camber was off on the left rear. Live and learn. Annual alignment is going to be a must do. Nissan price matched the cost for two Potenza RE050A 275/35/R19 96W tires. Their price $430 ea. matched price $343 ea. When I went to pick up the car there was a tone of excess grease all over the rear rims. They said this was necessary to get the tire on the rim. The LR and the LF rims were also newly chipped. Nissan is having their rim refinisher come in to repair the rims tomorrow. I can't believe they were so sloppy.

Any feedback on this type of rim repair?

Wheel repairers do wonders.

For next time, never buy tires from the dealer, their margin is REALLY high.

And if you don't plan on doing a bunch of suspension mods. Get a lifetime alignment from Firestone, god knows what the price is now, but you can talk them down $20

I've had it done on my stock Nismo rims. Can't tell the differance between new and repaired.

Hey, I admitted I was wrong, and I made suggestions, what more could you want? lol

It could be workload, but that shouldn't be brought here. My bad!
