    i know what I posted homie I posted it. Maybe you aren’t comprehending it.

    I also said to replace them or compensate him and you said my statement is what’s wrong with the world. I’m not getting you man.

    I guess so. Let’s just end it here so we can stop messing up his thread. Hopefully he gets resolution to his satisfaction whatever that may be.

    this is exactly what I would have done. It is in a place that can’t be noticed at all. Did they screw up? Sure. Does it affect the aesthetics or function of the rim? Absolutely not.

    I would have brought it to their attention and asked what they were willing to do for me (maybe a future free alignment or rotation)……used the paint pen and called it a day.

    They should now absolutely replace the wheel they tried to bondo and pay for a rental car for you while your truck is down. But expecting anything more is excess

    With all the everyday stresses of normal life nowadays, sometimes its just better to let the little things go. At least that's what I try to do to improve my already dubious mental health issues some say I have. :spy: :)

    None. Just bought.
    Is that paint marker a gloss black or flat black? I need a flat black for a touch up to a black TRD wheel.

    I always walk around my truck and pull off my center caps at the tire shop and put them on the passenger floor mat. They always use the air gun and the sockets rub the caps.

    the problem with letting "small" things go is that you are opening the door to the next customer to the same problem, address the problem now so that hopefully they can fix the root cause and prevent it from happening to someone else

    I agree with having the shop fix this. DT scratched all four of my wheels when mounting new tires. They bought me a new set of Fuels, one of which came in damaged, so they replaced that. After 4K on those rims, I discovered 3 of the 4 were damaged, 2 with flat spots, and one with a dent in the barrel. I got another set from DT, but had 4WP mount the tires on my dime, and discovered yesterday, when washing the truck, that 4WP scratched one of those rims. WTAF? 4WP is putting a new set of tires on this week, and I'm going to see what they want to do about that rim. Why is so hard to do a good job?
