I get my tires rotated and balanced every 6K, and I have been noticing that when they use their pry tool to take off the old weights, they have scratched and nicked the HE11 out of my rims!!!
I don't think that I can do anything about it, and it's not visible to the common passerby, but it makes me angry!!!
Just wish there was something that I could do about it.
Same here, but only in one place from the factory weights. Now, I have them mount the weights on the inside of the wheels. Not that the lugheads are less likely to scratch things up, but at least it's not a painted surface like the outsides.
I have my "lifetime balance and rotation" from Firestone place since that's where I got my revos. I'm thinking of finding a Firestone somewhere out in the country a little bit. Seems like you can't find anyone that really gives a SH1+ near a major metro area. Just too much business from undiscriminating customers to make them care if the customers notice damage.
