Aftermarket wheels...

Rogue75 · 08-05-2019, 05:20 PM

Just curious, do you leave on or swap back to stock wheels when taking your car in for service?

I'm not sure why anyone would swap their aftermarket wheels just to go in to service...seems like a lot of unnecessary work. I just take pics of each wheel (and the entire car) when dropping off, to document the condition of the wheels and car

I leave mine on.
My bumper got tagged the other week by someone in a parking lot....I'm considering taking them off when leaving it at the paint/body shop, though..

I leave mine on but make sure to let anyone within a 1 mile radius know that they don't have a single flaw on them and that is how I expect them to be once I pick the car up. My SA literally wrote " Custom Wheels... DO NOT DAMAGE" on the paperwork as well as "DO NOT WASH" per my request.

I also refuse the alignment check they do right as soon as you pull the car into the service area. I don't want those things anywhere near my wheels.
