Not too impressed asked my local man to change my scrubbed Conti's for 2 PS2 I had in the garage.
Cleaned car yesterday and both front alloys have damage near the edge of the rim which I can only assume has been caused when changing the tyres, as one area of damage is a big circular scratch round 2/3's of the rim.
Is this just carelessness/rushing or is it easy to damage them unless you get it spot on?

it can be easy to catch them if he hasn't set the machine right or using the old tyre machine

this is a machine for tyres that are for low profile tyres and best for alloys as the haed of the machine is locked with air pressure
