Damn sorry to see that! Especially after a fresh paint job. Welcome to CL tho.

On a couple side notes, I only go to one tire shop that I trust cuz my brother used to work there, and even then I take the wheels off the car and bring them the wheels instead of letting them have the car and worrying about them messing something up. I hate anyone else handling my car.

The other thing, I know most of the internet shorthand but what does FML stand for?

Wow...bummer...i guess that shop needs to pay attention to details...huh?

Did you notice your lug bolts? One is missing...and the other 4 are bent....WTF?!?!

I hope they check out your rotors too....looks like you skid the asphalt on them. Im thinking the front bumper and side skirts got scraped too.

Work Wheels has a backlog of 3+ months for wheels. I hope your VS-XX can be repaired.

Good luck.

Pete

not to slander a shop but a lot of us here live in Southern California (don't say SOCAL) which by your pics looks like you're from. Would it be bad to say they're name so we are aware of their quality control and this problem?

on the lighter side you achieved 1/4 of the slammed looked you were going for.

sorry i had to be a **** and say that ;( honestly i would be livid and raise hell with them) GL with getting it fixed and don't accept anything less than the best for your ride.

Man that's f*ing sux man. You didn't notice the wheel was loose after driving off the ramps? Should make some sort of clunking noise. Make them pay for that.
