I mentioned that I refinished all 4 wheels recently. Somewhat bad news...
Last week, Discount Tire replaced all 4 tires. I looked at the wheels closely and 3 out of 4 wheels (again, recently refinished) now have some damage on them.
One of the wheels looks like it was flat out dropped and the Discount Tire Manager admitted this. There is a flat spot on the side of the rim consistent with a drop. The other 2 wheels that were damaged have minor scratches.
The good news is that Discount Tire is apparently going to fix the wheels with zero hassle. Still, it's a PIA to deal with and annoying when you just got all 4 wheels refinished within the past few weeks!

I've had good luck with Discount Tire and they've been stand up about taking responsibility...
I was actually preparing myself for a fight (i.e. "we didn't do this"), but they said that they would take care of it without any hassle.

went to "official Tire Rack install center" with the chrysler >>
it was a Strauss Service ...or something.
A chain.....
Tires mounted......
inflated to 50psi each
long stems used....like for a truck
best part.........balanced absolutely wrong.....backwards, actually!
Went to my usual service place and the owner couldn't believe it!
Then I told him where I went.
