For me, they received the car from a dealer in Oklahoma, but there was a problem with one of the wheels. They replaced the wheel and tire just before delivery. I suspect the reason for my tire issue was they didn't deflate the tire after beading it. My PSI was closer to 80-100, which is what you would expect beading a new tire and way higher than they would use for shipping. Even a 60 PSI tire wouldn't have bubbled as quickly as mine did.

That being said, plenty of dealers forget to deflate tires after shipping or remove the Nismo spring spacers. It's the nature of the stealership
