just check my voice mail and my service Advisor called and stated she had an out side company repair the wheels and I wanted to inspect them on wensday and now that she has already completed the work without me lookin at them first. How did she not know i wanted to have them done by someone else? SHould i have to pay for this? what so you all think i should do here...?
Easy - pay nothing - what they said initially was so doubtful that you needed to check - if they have gone ahead and done $1000 of work to your car without your go ahead then they are idiots.

Pay nothing for the wheels.

But I do not understand how you can have a warranty with the
VF SUPER CHARGER 6.0PSI and DMS remapping?

DMS resets my CPU to factory and the super charger is bolt on which i remove once i take the car in. so no worries there....

I've never heard anyone bent all four wheels on a car. Very unlikely. Are you running super low profile tires?

I had 4 bent rims back in late winter. I had two huge potholes that I did not see. It was at night and they were filled with water. I had to replace all 4 rims, Style 124. Luckily my insurance company covers bent rims. They consider it a collision. They came to the dealership and looked at the car with me and the service guy and they said to order them. All I had to pay was my $300 deductible. So I guess the short story is Yes, it does happen and did to me. Good luck with it! I wouldn't pay them if you didn't authorize the repair.
