I just got my tires mounted, I got them back like this.



I honestly don't know if them scratching the rim there is normal or expected, should I do something about it?

 

Go back, speak to the manager about it. Who mounted them? That's downright unacceptable in my opinion. I'd try to get them to replace the wheels if it were me.

 

Wow. I would bitch so much if my wheels came out like that.

 

eek getting tires mounted tomorrow.. i dont need nightmares about this stuff

 

I would flip out, and make them cover that.

Old set-up pic bump:

 

I would say go back and be polite about it. Just don't let them say it's your fault.

 

That is from them mounting the tire improperly causing perminant damage to your rim. I would complain until the issue was corrected.

 

Also, if you drove off their lot without mentiening it, they will say you caused it. You left, went to another shop, had the tires blown offand remounted improperly by them( the other shop) because they will do anything not to cover damages regardless if they knowingly did it.

 

sorry for the late response......

I am running:
