My interlagos wheels have found their new home, what wheels next for me?

My car is having my new winter alloys fitted this afternoon. I rang round loads of tyre fitters local to my work and couldn't find anyone other than bloody Kwik-Fit to do it ( so I'm expecting there to some kind of major disaster ).

Found a place, if you are interested, who will supply and fit the Contis for £125 each.

FFS the inevitable has happended. Kwik-Fit have dented the outer rims of two of my monza shadow wheels whilst removing the tyres. I wash those wheels every bloody week and they were absolutely mint before today. Well I shall be down there first thing in the morning to see the manager.  Has anyone else had the same problem with them? I think they should at least pay for refurbing the damaged alloys.

On a lighter note my new wheels look pretty good. Although I've not had a good chance to see them in the light as I picked the car up this evening. I'll post some pics when I've cleaned the car.

Kwik Fit? Maw, come one man, what were you thinking!

Demand two NEW alloys, not refurbishment of your old ones.

Yep I agree Gossa why the hell did I go to Kwik-Fit in the first place? But tbo I've never had a problem with them before. This could happen anywhere, it just depends on how careful the fitter is. I pointed out to the fitter that the wheels are mint and to got careful. This is bloody ironic... swapping wheels over so they don't get damaged on the roads in the winter and then they get damaged in the process

Martin, I am horrified and sorry to hear what has happened. They must replace them. Insist.

I am now in two minds about tyre changing. I could not go through another drama after my bumper one.

Kwik fit!!! Arrghhhh...they are useless....they refused to repair a puncture on my 19",s as they couldnt guarantee "not marking the wheel" FFS a tyre company as well!! You couldnt make it up!

Took it to the local indy on the industrial estate...no problems at all.

Good luck with the manager...i sense a rant coming later because i know what there response will be!!!!!
