Default pretty pissed off

Today I was washing my 2nd baby (1st being 1000RR) my 06 GTO.... when i noticed something. Back up a few weeks. I have about 5,000 miles on the goat so pretty much brand new. On my way toAugusta a few weeks ago to go to the Master's I had a blow out on my left rear tire(hit some shat in the road) So I call my dad who is at the hotel in Columbia SC and tell him to find a tire place with a set of 235 40 ZR18s, he finds this place that has a comparable to the OEM set. 330 installed, I;m like ok sux but i gotta have tires (P.S. the onegood one on the rear was almost bald I seem to have done a few burn outs) SO..... I go get my tires everything is cool. come home life goes on..... TODAY i was washing my car off and notice some of the paint/powder coat on one side was F-ed up, I was like damn maybe it got messed up when it blew out, I go over to the other side and its the exact same way. Then it clicked the stupid kid ryed to hammer on the wheel weights when it has to have stick on weights. I specifically told the people at the tire shop not to use hammer weights and they go and F-up my damn rims, so now im debating what to do, thinking of powder coating them all black since the car is black and the interior is black. but still pissed to hell I have to spend money cuz of some jack-***'s lack of giving a ****

Call the shop and speak to the manager. I doubt anything will come of it, but at least you can rest easy knowing you did something about it.

Call the shop. nothing will be done about though. Touch up paint may help.
