Default what would you guys do?

went in for an alighment.

they put thoes things on each rim to do the alighment.

im not sure if you guys are familiar with it? its like a 2 prong thing that attaches from the top and bottom of the rim.

well.. where it attaches to the rim, it made a scratch. very small. but 2 scratches each on all 4 rims.

should i pursure and try to get some composation back? or let it be?

rims are VOLK TE37's in bronz.

having the WORST luck these days

Should taped them up... Though I'd still talk to them and see if you can get them to compensate a bit.

you should ask in person if anything, they are less likely to blow off a customer in person.

I'd go to the place and talk to the manager or whoever's highest up the chain. Gotta be sure you don't come off as a total a--hole right from the beginning tho, I've seen countless people blow their chances to get something worked out in a situation like this by being confrontational from the get-go.

You're probably not gonna get anything since you didn't say something while you were still there. Good luck, though.

put your stock wheels on so they can damage those (sorry to hear about this) and still get it in proper spec, unless your afte certain special specs... most alignment machines dont even have 03-07 z's with 19 inch wheels (assuming you have 19's)... i use tape on my car like alvin mentioned ....
