They forced a short lug socket instead of using a long one and chipped a paint and dented the rims where the wrench hit. I posted this under problems but I think I am pretty sure I am going back and asking for new ones! 98 E0 with 110,000 and counting...

The worst I've seen in Milw was the multi-brand store at :(( no-slander)) (across from a Goodyear Company store) SOOOO much depends on the employees. One beat'99 Tropic Green SVT
