Wheels Damaged During Tire Change

This really sucks.....I took my ride to Tire Kingdom for some new shoes, and everything went downhill from there.....First they didn't have any stick on weights, and I personally had to drive to their other store in the manager's broke down wreck of a truck to get the weights...Oh....not only that, I had to put gas in it before I could get there....the door wouldn't stay shut, and he had no seat belt. After getting that taken care of, I found that they scratched and gouged all four rims with the machine. While watching them install the tires, their so called professional mechanic overtorqued the rear and undertorqued the front lugs.....I had to use their tools and retorque everything.....They knocked $100 off of the price and charged me $441 for the four new BFG G-Sport tires with installation and road hazard.....today I have to go back so that they can order the new rims. Any suggestions for what looks "Hot" on the redline?

Just got back from the tire dealer. They are going to have to see what wheels are available to fit the Redline, and then I get my choice of what I want. They will also go with the factory rims, but the cost is so great that they will have to use their insurance.

I am waiting to hear from the dealer now. I have found a five spoke rim that is gunmetal with a Highly polished outer ring.
