Cheers, they do look really nice for a rattle can job by a :derp: in a garage. I was going to rush to get them mounted, but since they look good I think I will allow the paint adequate time to cure. It's definitely still soft even though it is "dry" - the can says it can be handled in 3 hrs but takes 7 days to cure.

I'd wait the 7 days if you can. You want the paint to be as hard as possible before the tire :derp: s start reefing on them.

Really solid job doe.

:word:

I moved them into my office for higher temperatures and lower humidity - they made the whole office smell like paint yesterday so they're definitely not dry yet. Today the room doesn't smell anymore, but the :ramz: themselves still smell like paint. Tomorrow and tuesday are the only dry days in the next week, I guess I'll just wait until a week from monday to get the tarz mounted and take photos whenever we get another dry day after that.

Yeah, tar :derp: chipped my :ramz: on the R53 putting tires on.

Not pleased. This is why I need my own tire machine.
:doit: I'll come to you for mount and balance.

actually had this conversation the other day about generally how shitty tire :derp: s these days. I haven't had a ram come back without some sort of defect in ages. 2 causes - carelessness and poorly maintained machines. When I changed tars in college, we had really nice Hunter machine. Plastic and/or rubber coating on all of the rim touch points. You'd have to go :fullretard: to damage a rim with that machine.

Agreed on the tire changer :doe: I'm considering picking one up.

It's only one wheel too, one spot. Other wheels are spotless. But there's no way whoever did it, didn't notice it.

I'm more pissed that I wasn't told about it. Whatever. I'll just have to find some grey touch-up and touch up the spot. I don't have the energy left in me to be :triggered: with the way things are going at work.
I don't have much energy to :trigger: anything anymore. It seems like 9/10 times it's wasted effort. No one owns up to mistakes anymore. The last victory was when I bought my FiST and noticed a bubble in the sidewall of one of the tires when I got home with it. I called them up and asked for it to be replaced, missed during inspection, etc, etc. Sales manager initially suggested that it must have happened on my way home - hitting a pothole, curb, etc. And that's when I went :wtf: :rolleyes: :bruh: and they replaced the tire.
