How to keep an Installer from damaging your wheels, what to do when it happens anyway

I've seen it happen a million times. A tire shop does something wrong and scratches up a wheel for some reason. Sometimes it's the wrong equipment. Sometimes it's an untrained tech doing something flagrantly wrong. Sometimes it's a great tech having a tool slip at the wrong moment.

Wheel Finishes: Chrome
