!!

I just got new tires (Michelin Hydroedge) and the place that changed them obviuosly did not take car of my rims very well. Along were the edge meets the tire, there are a couple areas that the finish got chipped.

Do you guys/gals know how I could fix this?? Could I just get a silver touch up paint and touch it up?? Has anyone else encountered this??

Thanks!!!

Jer

ps. These all season tires ROCK!

Yeah, we refuse to do larger wheels(and chrome wheels) with certain machines here because we'll end up scratching the wheel and then having to replace it. If you don't feel like trying to get the shop to take care of it, I would definitely look into putting some kind of finish on the scratched area.

They're going to say they're not responsible for mounting damage, and there's no way to fix it beyond touchup paint. if they're the factory honda machined finish wheels, forget matching it.

Thanks guys...sort of too bad that happens. Yes they are OEM rims.

But I guess I will just match up some touch up paint as best possible. Should conceal it pretty good.

Thanks for your input.

i had the same problem, but i made the company pay for it, i was in ATL for Nopi and the place chipped my finish on my wheel and i went off on the guy and every person in the place, my friend had to walk next door to the other store cause he thought i was gonna get arrested. Just tell them they did it and you want them to pay for it.
