I've heard good things about them. But DAMN, it sucks I gotta travel 400 freaking miles in any direction to get a good shop.
PQ, there is no need to change who you are, but at the same time, when you buy premium products, you should recieve a premium product.. In addition to the original problems with the wheels, have they been leaking like this all along. If so, then it's back on Savini, if not, did it start with a tire change or tire brand change... If so, then the tire company should be held responsible.

I will not question your decisions, but I will offer ideas up when I can... I know you don't have the best relationship with Savini, but I would sure be asking them for suggestions, or help... they can certainly offer something for the price spent on their wheels... ideas, suggestions, etc...

Yeah it does but the great thing about Vengeance it they have a service that will come and pick up your vehicle and take it to Vengeance. I had to use it once and it cost me 150.00. Well worth it in my opinion, saved me 6 hours of driving time. Enclosed trailering service with 2 mil worth of insurance. Just a thought.

Yeah, when I had my first cam installed by another shop I had a 37K paper weight that wouldn't run. They had damaged the rocker tray and a rocker arm, real bad skip, smoke etc... Ron had this Car service come and pick my car up and deliver it to Vengeance, Cost me 150.00. He had an enclosed trailer, winched my car in the trailer, had car protectors etc... showed me his insuranance that if something bad happened that my car would be replaced if replaceable. When I went to pick it up car worked great, not a scratch on it not even a speck of dust.

Vengeance is a 3 hours drive from me to give you an idea, but really helped me out cause trust me when I saw the smoke and heard the bad missing I was kinda freaking out but Ron took care of me and my car.

It sure is easy to sleep at night knowing there are people with shops out there that really do care... and take care...

Cool Story,

After all that trouble, I'd be putting them on EBAY after they hold air and ordering something else...

It hurts reading about you still fighting those @#$%^ wheels... and the fault lies with the tire shop Idiot.

Sounds like it. When I read your story I kept thinking that would so be me.

Nice guys finish last, or buy their way out.

I think it's time I start being an a-hole as soon as I start getting irritated. I always wait two steps too late.
