aaron, i do have other dealers i can take my car to, but i understand how damages can occur. they are doing there best to make me happy, to answer your question i would probably take my car back for 2 reasons 1 every manager knows me and my car and 2 they know i will notice any damages so i feel they will probably be a little more on the look out with my car. atleast i hope <_<

onefat, that's true. Didn't look at it that way. And, if you are happy with the way they have treated you, no need to break that relationship, just keep it growing. Hopefully, they will respect you for the way you've handled yourself throughout this ordeal and will show you the same respect in future dealings.
Good luck with whatever wheels you choose, and please post pics when you get them on.

Hey Onefat99,
Can you post some picture of the damage done to your rims? Just very curious on how noticeable is your rims.
Did the dealer give you a budget of how much you can spend? or did they negotiated a settlement $?
Do you get to keep the damaged rims or after they pay you, the rims goes to the dealer?
Perhaps you can sell it to anyone who'd be interested for a good discount. Cause' many people have complimented on how they looked.
Just a thought.

the dealer will be keeping them, crevier is letting me spend the same amount i did on these i think it was about 3800 to 4000. I have also been thinking about trying once more to get them repaired on my own and have the dealer reimburse me plus maybe get nav ( if its available ) put in or something.

After about 2 1/2 months crevier will replace all 4 wheels. to amke a long story short in a period of 1 month dealer curbed 3 wheels ( 2 weeks old ). Crevier attempted to repair but just got worse. The company maido will not be making these wheels anymore and no one has a set. i need some help on picking out a new set of 20 inch wheels. The only thing is that they have to ahve a huge lip on it. Below are the wheels i currently have.

you cant, the company is not making them anymore otherwise i would have had them replaced by the same ones by now. you will have to call some of your local high end rim shops and see if they have any available. good luck
ps. if you find any ask if they have 2 sets i would like one of them.
