Lol! I still have'nt installed TPM's on my C6 wheels. Already on 3 month's, who you gonna use? It's crazy out there, these guy's make 400 a week to break down and install tires. Doubt very much they do vette wheels much.

Horrible experience with that place as well. Never on my Vette, however they sold me some crap tires for the wife's minivan and then would not honor the warranty after the tires started wearing incorrectly AFTER they performed the necessary rotation and alignment necessary for the warranty.

At least they were good enough to replace the damaged tire. Too many shops would simply deny they did any damage.
