Default My new rims

Hey everyone, Here is youtube video of my new rims that I got put on today.
They give a whole new stance to the car that I really like. Only downside is the place that installed them for me scratched 3 out of the 4 when they were installing the tires. I am upset about that but I'm going to see if they can get someone to pinstripe over the scratches to hide them. Which is what I was planning on doing anyway. But hey if I can get it done for free because someone messed up then that is ok with me haha

Yea, Hopefully I can get this tire place to either give me some money back or get someone to pinstripe my wheels to cover up the scratches. A red pinstripe will set the wheels off and really tie them into the car a little more.

Nice! Most places can't seem to install a tire on a rim without in some way scratching or completely marring off the finish coating around the perimeter.

Yea, you would think "professionals" would do it right but oh well. It will work it's self out in the end. If they don't pin stripe it red and cover it up that way then I'll take whatever money I get back and go have it done. Shouldn't be to much just to have it pinstriped.

I don't know if it's because they just don't care, aren't being careful while installing, or don't know how to operate the tire installer. Installing a new set of tires shouldn't ruin the rims.
