• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Had them installed yesterday at D C Tires .

For an AT Tire they are really quiet and look great .
Just got done washing her and used TW Seal and Shine , I love that stuff its super easy to apply and last a couple weeks easy .
These are the products I use as well as a foam cannon, I normally use CC Black to black but they were out so picked up the Mothers .
I love when the vehicle looks great but I hate that I'm such a perfectionist or more like OCD.
In the end the results are great though, Off to go wash my wife's car too now .
But before I do time for a hydration break ๐Ÿบ

Cheers everyone have a great Sunday from Washington State ๐Ÿค™

So on a side note when DD Tires were installing my tires they left deep nickes on 3 out of the 4 rims and I noticed it when I got home of course my OCD .
Contacted them about it brought it down and showed it to him and honestly they said this happens but from the expression he gave it was like really...
I do believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt so we will see.
I Contacted the shop left a message hope to hear back from them either way they will either fix my rims or have replace them the Telluride is brand new .
Will keep you all posted , I know things like this tend to happen to people and it may happen to me later on down the road but this is my option to do it myself not a company I pay to install tires to install tires and purchase from them and they damaged the rims.

As far as you tires, 100% user error. I have found that the bigger the auto shop is, the more likely you will get a "newbie" doing your wheels. It's usually the first job new guys get since I don't think this is what mechanics love to do. And yes, most people (not me!), don't even look at the rims close enough to tell. If they are indeed small, I would just ask for matching paint and fill the chips in. It's really depends on how big. Lets see a picture.
 
They're not big at all maybe about a half inch on one where you can see it strikes it and move and the other ones are divids little chips nothing major.
this is a brand new vehicle with black rims ,they did give me information for a company that should fix it.
so as long as they fix it I'm cool with that and " warranty the work " that it won't just pop off again.im good with that.
I can't see having a company buy me 3 new rims that's not how I roll but I do want it fixed .
In my mind and I may be wrong but once they chip they can chip further.
This was one of my big concerns with getting these black rims but I know that I would have taken care of them just because I'm too OCD to mess them up myself.

I've taken care of all my rooms and so far none of them have been curbed rashed by me but my wife's chrome rims on her optima are toast by her not me๐Ÿ˜‰

I would say that the person was consistent in their ineptitude. Since they are on the other side of the lip of the wheel, some matching paint should make them virtually indistinguishable.
 
So they have agreed to fix it them ๐Ÿ‘
I will keep everyone posted on how it turns out.
