He was like "I can refinish the insides of the wheels and fix your curb rash, but I'll have to take the tires off to do it. Why don't you let me mount your new tires? Did you know I can do that? And you know I won't mess up your wheels."
Me: "Oh, right. Duh."

Problem solved.
Not that I expect anything to come of it, but I'm gonna send the dealer the bill for refinishing the insides of the wheels.

yah, i learned long time ago to remove the old weights, centering ring, center cap, and valve caps prior to taking wheels with old tires in to get swapped.

i also panter's tape the spokes on wheels that protrude past the lip.

I took your advice after last time and this is how I found out that the repair was nothing more than a coat of grey spray paint on the inside of the rims that included painting over the weights.

Looked at it long and hard glistening in the sun, as I hopped into my Civic to go back to work. Just another month and I will be able to drive it more often :/

Does your license suspension expire in a month or something like that?

Today, Waz a good Z Day. I recieved my new personalized plates from DMV. I have a beautiful set of iSS wheels which don't really fit anything - so I have the rubber taken off and have sent the wheels back to iSS to have them retro fit to something that will actually work and still look amazing - Red Wheels, with Red Brake and Red Interior, Red Tail lights - so - all in all a good Z Day.

Added Stillen lightweight crank pulley. Didn't expect it to make much difference but I have to say it does rev a little more free now. Also noticed it takes off from a stop with less effort and seems to rev a little quicker. It's a noticeable improvement. Worth $160 and 1.5 hrs of your time for sure. Not a huge difference by any means but a nice little improvement. I like it.

As ugly as it may look I got to try them out. Installed silencers on my recent A.P. CBE. I'll see how it sounds on my commute to work. Trying to cut down on some sound. Also my temp tag expires tomorrow. Waiting on DMV to deliver my vanity plate.
