So did they pay you to fix them or where some of those dodgy fitting place that couldnt give a fark about customers rims or return business?

If they were my rims I'd certainly be making some noise and getting them pay up for repairs and re-fit the tyres for free once they had been fixed.

Wouldn't be happy of any of my staff did that to a customers rims - hopefully this was done at a tyre store up Clarkson or Joondalup way...

When I got some tyres fitted to some brand new rims the tyre shop took chunks out of the rim lip. Went back and complained and the manager basically abused me saying they hadnt done it calling me a liar etc. I wont say who it was (Tyrepower booragoon) but I would never go their again. Would only ever take my rims to Wheels World they can be trusted.
