You've a lot more gumption than I do White. Frankie is quite the undertaking.

LMR sent me a new wheel and a discount that should work out to another $30 savings. The new wheel, though, is identical in color and fitment to the original, so I'm just going to pack up the replacement unit like new, and ship it back. Some gloss tire shine on the spokes of the initial one will make them blend with the air bag's finish just fine.

It seems like it looks OK from a couple feet away, but you get close and you can't help but see it. At least LMR tried to rectify it.... but surely you aren't the only person that has had this issue.

I would try a matte clear coat on the middle parts.

I wish jobs like that paid more. I'd love a job in the auto industry.

you have to be a special kind of person to work in the car business. I've been in the car busniess for 15 years and my pay just now is pushing 50k/year. Both my parents are in healthcare, i couldn't do healthcare

I once worked at a company that fixed machines at user facility. Like big machines.
The company billed travel time between stops to both customers. One person could easily work 8 hours and have 10 or 12 billable.
We didn't get paid but the 8 though.

I never thought that was right.

Why should you get paid to head-bob to the radio and drink Starbucks on the way to and from? Entitled much? Sheesh!
