Here's a nice issue with my Chrysler rental....

I either have full heat or full cold regardless of the temperature setting. I set it to 60 and its blasts heat. I set it to 'LO' and theres no heat. And this car stickers near $40k. Thats imported from detroit for ya...

yep, the 18's with narrow blizzaks should do well. id use the money on real summer wheel set and tires.

the stock wheels look like 18x7's or something. probably do a 18x9.5 or 18x10's.

too bad the nismo-rs is only available in fwd though...

Yep 18x7, I think i'd go 19x8 for they could be rotated...there doesn't seem to be a lot of room on the inside. I'd go FWD before AWD though, just to save the weight and the power robbing extra diff. If it was RWD that would be sweet!

19x8's fine just as long as you lower it a tad more.

I had that same experience with a rented 2014 Suburban in negative 23 below weather.

I just picked up my car. Not ******* happy about it.

There is a nick on both front wheel edges from the alignment rack. There are two miles added to my odo. When I asked if the car was road tested because of the alignment, I was told no. This was before I saw the odo.

The service manager says that "these are really small blemishes and probably not even repairable. You just have really high standards."

Possibly the tool itself since it's on the edge of the lip.

I call BS. I hate this kind of attitude. You have every right to be pissed and demand to be taken care of.

No, just one nick on each wheel. They were definitely not there when I dropped it off this morning. I specifically ran my finger around the rim while my service advisor was there and felt nothing.
