Impossible to buy (1) perfect 03/04 rim?

other than from a dealership?

The got-dam car wash installed tubular railings on the floor and my rim got curb rash from it tonight.

I'm going to the gas station tomorrow and going to give them the opportunity to do the right thing. All I want is reimbursement for whatever the remedy is.

I feel your pain! Same thing happened to me. They have a sign posted that states "they are not responsible for damage caused by car wash" so I didn't even bother. I hope they fix you up. Good Luck.

Yeah, good luck. That is why I don't even bother with those. The tire guide is barely big enough for a 12" Honda rim, there is no way I could get through one w/o damage.

I've bought all my ford wheels (Lightning & Mustang) from Diversified Products.
They are a large Ford Motorsports dealer.

You think that's bad... The ONE time I actually take my truck to a car wash I come out with one of my tips bent. Of course they wouldn't do anything about it... and luckily I was able to fix it for the most part. Another reason to get rid of my Magnaflow.

why do you want to get rid of your Magnaflow?
I loved mine when that was all I had. I just added Bassani mid pipes with high flow cats, and now it sounds awesome.

There is a guy here in Virginia Beach selling a whole factory set... I'm interested in the tires so I'll let you know if I get the 04 rims.

yeah, put on the mid pipes. MUCH louder. takes some getting used to, but everyone agrees that my truck sounds awesome. Plus, you may actually pick up a few HP, as opposed to just switching a cat back. JMO.
