I just had my new Method Double Standards mounted at a local tire shop in Seminole, Tx and they totally screwed up three of my rims. The first one they mounted fine, the second was deeply gouged with the tire machine. I didn't even know they screwed up the last two since I was so mad about the first one. The manager cut me a check for the first one and I'm thinking of going back to them on the rest. These were brand new in box as well. Grrrr!
That sucks man I would defiantly be fighting for new ones
Happen to me at discount but the bented two of mine, they just bought me new wheelsQuote:

I can't count how many times they mount them on the face of the wheel, even If I specify for them to be put on the backside. Last year I had them actually crack the chrome plating on an $800.00 wheel from those weights on the face of the wheel, I had to take them to small claims court and I won!!! $1,500 judgement...
They used internal wheel weights. I'll be in contact with the shop owner tomorrow - I'll post pics in the morning of the damage. After really going over all the wheels they scratched/galled every one of them. These have a matte finish and it looks like he got carried away with the impact.
I almost had an anuerysm one time at a tire shop, the day my truck got outta the paint shop getting painted satin black (the first time) i was getting metal valve stems put in my drag radials andgetting them mounted the jackass grabbed my old DR's outta the bed and drug it over the bed railing and down the side of the bed. shop owner wrote me a check to getthe bed painted again by the time i left. you gotta watch those guys like a hawk man.
I will be mounting my bead locks my self and just having them balanced to keep this from happening. Sucks to hear, but tire shops don't care. Def go talk to the owner. They are responsible for it if they take the job.
I've always had good luck with discount...but I do have a friend who works there who is also picky about his truck :thumb:
My brother and his bestfriend(roommate) work there... they weren't ones who did it tho!
Enjoy!

Holy hell they really effed those up :argg:
That is insane. What did the tech guys say when you confronted them about it?
was it his first time to use a tire machine? that sucks, hope they make it right
Wow! Did they ever frig those things up! I'd be going after them for other ones, then some place else to have them installed the second time.
holy crap,yea theres no way he didnt know he did that, you could see that screw up from space.
Spoke with the shop manager, he immediatly offered to replace the wheels and reimburse the cost of mount and balance. I won't be releasing the name of the tire shop since they were so quick to fix this. I'll update once I have the money in hand.
good deal man.
Wow!!!
Everything is good now, wheels will be replaced soon.
Good news Mac! Calm, cool, & collective does pay off! Glad things worked out!Quote:
