well last thursday when i got off work my LR was flat. i threw on the spare and headed for les schwabs (local tire store) for a free flat repair. he pulled the tire off the wheel with the old school style machine (the kind that has the bar that rides the outside of the rim). i didnt say anything because i thought he knew how to do his job better than i did (thought). he put it back together and im on my way. i went 1/2 mile up the road to get some tire cleaner, hope out and lok at the wheel...WFT!!!!!!!!...the finish is scraped off about 1/2 of the dam wheel!!!!!!! i walked back in and was greeted with, "back already?" i told them about it they called him up. i showed him it and..."oh thats the stuff i put on so i wouldnt scratch it." (ok) he ran in and got a rag and some BRAKE CLEANER!!!!!!!!!!! he starts rubbing it on the "stuff he put on there" and in the process rubs more off he had to be told by another employee that "no it was scratched."
so my new wheel should be here tomorrow.
i am going to try to buy the scratched one from them for either a spare or get the face cut off and make a clock out of it, probably spare.
sorry for the shitty grammer
