check this guys...I bought the volk te37 several months ago right? brand new...and had the local tirerack put them on for me. that was the first rubber my TE's has ever seen. they did a fantastic job- not a single mark.
this time, the 2nd time my TE's got new rubber...it was the same shop. all 3 are perfect like last time except one. it's not a curb rash, but it looks like a white smeared line that's sorta rubbed into the edge of the rim. Clearly, it's from dismounting/mounting. they deny this fact. since they did such a good job the first time, i didn't really force them to inspect all rims before mounting, but had the manager himself come out and he briefly looked inspected.
what should i do? it's too little of a mark (although it's about 5-6" long) and it's not bad enough where i need to have them or force them to replace a $500 rim. or is 'bad enough' not good enough? i picked up the rest and left the 'damaged' rim at the shop so the manager can look at it tomorrow morning.
what should i do?
