Tyre Fitters!!!
Well i decided to get some new rear tyres (Falken fk452 255/30/20) for the xfire as the car was due an mot.Fitter came to my place of work so i let him do his thing,paid and of he went.When i put the locking wheel nut back in the car i noticed both wheels were scraped and peeling paint all around the rim.So as you can amagine i was not too happy.These wheels are the brabus monoblock v split rims and i only paid for a full refurb 11 months ago.Anyway, when i got home i had another look and noticed one of my metal valve caps was also missing so i contacted them that night.After a few emails and an inspection i was told they had not used any rim protectors when clamping the wheel.Thankfully they have admitted liability and i am waiting for a cheque for the £300 damage they have caused.So i thought everything had been sorted and then this morning i got to work and one of the tyres was dead flat.It turns out that the tyre has not been seated correctly and there is a leak between the tyre and rim.Another phone call and i have been waiting a whole day for them to fix it.
THEY HAD BETTER TURN UP TOMORROW!!!

Are you sure that those wheels and tires weren't sub-contracted to the gorilla cage at your local zoo?
sorry about your situation! Hope it gets resolved ......
