So I got my winter tires in, and went to the shop to put them on the Weds. Broke the tire bead, got the wheel on the machine, got the front side off, then when we went to get that back one off, the wheel slipped off the machine, which put a pretty big chip in my wheel. So, I was upset, we remounted, and had no choice but to continue taking the tire off. Slipped again....bigger strach, and a nice size piece eaten out of the outside rim edge. So, one wheel now looks like I hit a curb bad. Worst day workin on the suby yet.....~crying~




P.S. ordered some new sport edition cheapos from tire rack to fit my brembos...should be in in two days.. buyin winter wheels brand new FTL

Anyone know of any good rim repair places? I am going to get mine fixed before the spring so they look brandy new! I heard of a place in Manchester that does great work, but cant remember the name. Any suggestions would be great!
