well two of the wheels now need repairs to the paint thanks to the tyre fitters,
they gave me the choice of pay £45 for fitting and they will get them painted,
as the saw they where just refurbed
they where surprised when i said i painted them up, so the deal was they fitted tyres and balenced them for free and ill repaint them,
yes it will take a week or so but essentialy its only going to cost me one tin of paint and i still have left overs
on the plus side my minis gearbox is ready to collect

Same happened to me with one of my brand new Irmy wheels. Not as bad as that but I was still annoyed. Was getting the tyres fitted on the cheap though so didn't bother to mention it.
Shouldn't have told them you refurbed them and got a better deal out of it
