Hey everyone. I purchased some new tires online last week and they arrived at my doorstep just yesterday when I arrived home from work. I went over to the local used tire shop to have the old ones removed and the new ones mounted and balanced.
Just like all of you, I know every defect on my car, especially my paint and wheels.
When I arrived the mechanic said they close in 30 minutes, however they could still do the work for me. I stated I can just come back tomorrow and that it is no big deal. He insisted it was not an issue and they could do the job today. So I said okay.
I have a habit of taking pictures any time I take my car to a mechanic, dealer or if I have to park next to someone. So I took picture of all four rims right before they took them off my car.
Here are the befores:

The damage varies from light scratches inside the lug nut wholes, consistent scratch along the circumference of the wheel, chipped paint by the lug nuts and gashes by the center caps.
