Default never bring good parts to crap shops

so ive been waiting almost 2 months for a set of Work Emotion CR Kai's 16x7, gunmetal...and they FINALLY show up 2 days ago the first shop i brought the wheels to i figure would do a good job cause they are a goodyear dealer and because it was the first shop i saw...but anyway, as soon as i figure out how to post pics il post up pics of what a shitty shop will do to a wheel when using the wrong equipment
lol best part was the dumb ignorant mechanic wanted me to give him a tip after he scratched and gouged the **** out of the only wheel they did

only good news is that the manager is going to buy a new wheel for me but its more than likely going to take another month to get here

EDIT: i just uploaded all my pics onto photobucket, let me know if this link works..if not il just post all individual links to each pic

Damn, that sucks. I'd be so pissed, at least he's buying you a new one though.

well you learned the hard way that not all places that mount tires have the latest tire mounting systems. That's when you have to ask the right questions. Like what type of machine does the shop use to mount the tire. Look at the bright side at least they are replacing it for you they could have told you to go pound sand

yea seriously, well like i said the anus dwelling mechanic insisted that he could do it and i walked in to see 3 guys fighting to get the tire onto the rim and i got up close and saw how scratched it was and i was like ok stop, look at my f*king wheel..and from there i went to a place that was able to mount mag wheels
