Dude, I was like you only a few weeks ago. Now my life has been turned upside down, for the better. I spent the last few months wondering how I'd pan out by the end of the year, what would happen after repeats etc. It has worked out, not as I intended. Hence I'm not here very much any more. I don't even have time for my projects....

Might be worthwhile having a read of some of the threads on PI, they can be really beneficial depicting other posters similar experiences. Generally a god read when you are being reflexive.

Chin up and we're all here to listen to you, we're here for you

Lads, I know I can't name names, but a large tyre centre just outside Tullamore on the N80 is to be avoided at all costs.

Had 4 tyres fitted - checked the wheels after. Extensive damage to every single wheel. Obviously they're refusing to admit liability and I have no way of proving they did it.

These wheels were only refurbished less than 4 months ago.

No kerb could put as uniform a mark as that. If you're still there see if there's anything waiting for collection and the condition of the wheels after that.

That's my local spot! Very fearful of going there now!

I currently drive a remapped E90 330d, it’s lovely – lots of power, very comfortable, reasonably ‘classy’ (if that’s the right word).

Anyway my annual mileage is coming down so I’m thinking of moving to petrol, so what would ye suggest? I’d still want something refined, comfortable and somewhat powerful, but ideally I’d like my €/mile cost to fall so I’m not really open to the ‘you now do less mileage so buy an M5’ type suggestions!

523i M Sport or something like that?

I'll mention there name is on the line, they are usually quite good.
Once i know for sure it is them!

I wonder if taking pictures before getting tires done is worthwhile. I'd be devastated if my wheels came out looking like that!

I will, especially with my yokes! I wonder how you could be absolutely fully covered, in case they turn around and say the photos were taken when the wheels were new.

CM small claims court. 25 quid to apply, and you would have a strong case. I also wonder if it's the case that redone wheels are just not terribly strong. I've seen a few posts over the last year on here where peoples wheels were ruined when getting tires done, after having them refinished.

YbFocus

I've put tyres on many times and the machine shouldn't make contact with the wheel, it needs to float just above the surface.
No need for that damage to have been done.
That was purely a chap trying to get to his break or just couldn't care less!

Still though that's a lousy thing to do, in my place they're fairly careful now, but in work we have a tyre machine too so I guess im lucky in that sense
