I was bent over

[cali]

Not a tech post, but this happened.
Advantage Auto & Tire in oldsmar. I should have just went to wheel tec.

They've admitted to the damage , and promise to make good. I inspected the car b4 I paid and I didn not see it. As soon as I came home to clean off the rim I found it. Apparently they ROLLED the car off the lift, and set it do the damage was pointing down....hmmmm

Whatever you do, go to wheel tec. Even if you have to take time off work. They worked on my black rims about 3 times, and not even a thought of a scratch could be found on those.

that sucks

[Off-Topic]

that sucks yup

[The Spectacle]

what are they gonna do?

[dsm_90]

hopefully you won't go back there, I detest when people do stuff like that and tried to cover it up. Good thing you found it so soon or they would have denied that they did that and you would have possibly suffer a loss..

[slow poke]

that sux !!!!!!!! :mad:
when did you get the new wheels and what are they ?????

[cali]

I got them last Saturday. I beat Calcu down to 710 :D
5Zigen, 17*8 with potenza re070 tires. (160 TW)
Wanna go frop a stop monkey man??

Now I regret it....too much damn headaches.
Anyways, up today's update is that they will order me a new wheel since its cheaper than a repair. I will call on Monday for a trackign # on this wheel, or I am calling Bank Of america to perf a chargeback on the mount n balance.

No doubt they hire some hacks. I'm still waiting on the rim, and hoping they are true to their promise.

Ya know you are a pestering damn monkey :tard: And I dont want to hear about dirty car...got it?

[cali]

Last one

[Dano Moparo]

Those are some good looking wheels. I would love to put a set on my Stratus.

[dsm_90]

nice rims, hopefully they stay clean and don't get dirty as fast as your other wheels but who the hell care about looks as long as you stick to the road and enjoy your ride....

[slow poke]

Ya know you are a pestering damn monkey :tard: And I dont want to hear about dirty car...got it?
dirty car and the general lee exhaust tip needs polished !!!!!!! :-D :roll: :poon: :lol:
j/k..... looks awesome !!!!!!

[cali]

Well after those guys made good and after many months of perfect rims, I had to get new tires...well all 4 rims were f00ked up this time...

This manager however was trying his best not to take responsibility..he ended up promising to make good but who knows..
You can see the base of the rim showing and he was claiming rust, that must have been there..."the machine is state of the art plastic ...there is no metal on the machine..."

I asked that they properly torque my lugs ...at least they got that right....that is after partially stripping my lug key....


Why me?

[Blue04skittle]

You need to come see me when you get new tires!!! I work at the Tires Plus in New Tampa on BBD. I put new tires on three srt's this week and didn't fuck up any of them. I did Ttimes, a new guy in town and mine. Come see me next time. What shop was it? If someone at my shop messes up a wheel we send them out to either sam the hub cap man or this other place in town that just re finishes wheels.

[cali]

I think this was tires plus ( racetrack & countryway)
I doubt these can be properly refinished. When the other place damaged one of the wheels, they found out it was cheaper to repalce it than fix it.

Can you comment on the 'plastic machine? I've never heard or seen that, is it 100% horse shit?

[Chase]

Same goes for tire kingdom on gun and linebaugh, dropped my car off the lift and cracked my frontbody kit and sideskirts as well as bent my axles, and gave me my money back for the damage 7 months later.

[cali]

The first guy they called today didnt want to touch the wheel cuz he cant match the color.
Next they sent me over to Glen's wheel polishing, he cant match it either , but he proposed polishing the outer lip. He explained by doing this, if it does happen again ( more like when it does), it would simply be "buffed out"

It should be done on Monday,so I'll post up pics....

[HMCK20]

that sux man they look good tho do you live close to adavntage tir cause i do. i might be able to fix your dirty car issue

[Blue04skittle]

The plastic machine isnt total bullshit if they have a machine like the one i use. The only part that is plastic is the part that goes over the lip of the rim and you use to take off both beads of the tire. I highly doubt they used a machine like this because if they had there is virtually no way in hell to mess up rims that bad. My machine will periodically leave a grease mark, but that comes right off with cleaner fluid.

Is all i have to say to both you cali and chase is you guys need to come see me next time. I have a lot of srt's come over to my shop so i can put parts on, do tires, alignments, basically anything and i dont charge what my shop will so i usually do it on my bosses day off but still. Hit me up if ya need anything. It may be a little drive but at least your shit wont be all messed up. That pretty much goes for anybody.

[slow poke]

damn cali, hate that it happened again. :mad:

i vote you get the lip polished !!!!

[dsm_90]

cali, I'll trade you some stock rims plus $2 for your new scraped rims--lol. Don't worry, hopefully next week all will be well and the rims will look as nice or better with the outer lip polish.

[HPNOTIQracing]

bastards

[cali]

I'm in awe...rims are fixed...excellent job done by Glenn's.

[Dano Moparo]

Damn, dude's got talent! Glenn's huh...gonna have to remember that.

[Blue04skittle]

Looks good but next time just let me know when you some new tires and i can hook you up and not make you go through all this yet again.
