    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.
