Hey Twins, before you open up a can of whoop ass, let me add one or two things...

- I hope you mean you'll ask for them to refinish the wheels and not replace them. I think the chance they'll replace them is inversely proportional to how rude they'll get shortly thereafter. It's not that I don't agree with you and would want the same thing, it's just that you might get more out of it in the end if you don't come off as 'I want a new car' type of guy (we've all read those posts).

- Next, you have a lot more beef with these guys than just scraped rims. Your car drives like crap, which is a safety issue. Question is, which high school junior did your dismount/mount/rebalance/alignment? (No offense to high school juniors, I was once one). This situation must be rectified immediately.

- Just my suggestion, feel free to disagree please, I'd ask them to refinish all the wheels to your satisfaction, re-mount the tires using Hunter equipment, rebalance all 4 wheels using the Hunter Roadforce setup, redo alignment, all for free and also throw in another rotation/rebalance for free for next time.

- Last 2 points. You don't want to dismount/mount tires too many times as you'll eventually affect the integrity of the sidewall. BMW doesn't recommend rotating tires, and personally I never do it, in case you already didn't know.

Best of luck.
