Exact size and manufac. I’m looking at. Thanks for posting! Any rubbing fwd/back? Do you have stock air sus? Good in all 5 settings?

There is definitely a little rubbing a t full lock in reverse coming from the passenger side. I will be identifying exactly where that is coming from as soon as the rain stops. It happens in Aero and Normal mode.

I’ll be interested in what you need to trim, but have heard this exact setup does not need much. I’d be interested in pix when weather is better! Thanks!! Those equate to 33’s, correct?
 
Took my Ram back to the tire place to have the front passenger wheel re-balanced. I posted 2 days ago that the sticky weight fell off in my driveway. Anyway, they get done with the balance, I am going out to my truck to leave, and I happen to glance down at the wheel and low and behold...

They gouged my freakin' wheel! Believe me, I looks worse in person. I can't win for losing. Very upset right now.

No tire / wheel warr? Would be covered.

I initially bought new tires (Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus) through this place (I have done business there for years), I had them mounted and balanced on my factory wheels. Then I decided a while later to get new wheels. I bought the wheels through CARiD / Wheel Pros. I took the wheels down to my tire shop (Monday, the 17th). They took the Pirelli's off the stock wheels and put them on the new wheels. A sticky weight fell off the front passenger wheel in my driveway, not 3-4 hours later. I went back to the shop the next day (18th), but, had to make an appointment to have that wheel rebalanced. I go back today (2 days later) and have them rebalance that wheel. I even took the wheel cap off at home, so they wouldn't have to worry about it. Just balance the freakin' wheel.

They rebalance the wheel, I walk out, I look down, I see the gouge...

I told the manager, who I know very well, by the way. He saw my wheel and asked what I wanted to do about it. He says, "We can put some touch up paint on there". I'm like, "Touch up paint isn't going to fix that gouge". He kind of shrugged his shoulders. Then, I said "I am gonna go home right now and think about what I want to do".

Of course, what can I do, really?

So, as far as a warranty, through this tire place, there is none.

Needless to say, I will not be going back to this place again, ever.

I would look at your paperwork from the shop (assuming they gave you some) to see what their release of liability is.

Depending on how well you know this guy/how much it matters to you, there's always small claims court. Even the threat of small claims court is usually enough to get the proper resolution. Could also call CARiD/Wheel Pros to see if they have a manufacturer warranty on the wheels. If they do it could POTENTIALLY be considered a manufacturer defect and could replace it through the limited manufacture warranty as they are so new.

Just my 2 cents/
 
Here is a shot of both the red caliper covers and red front tow hooks in the same picture...

Yeah, I appreciate your input. I sent CARiD an email. We'll see what they say. I will go back to the tire place tomorrow and talk to the manager.

Got an AVS Aeroskin II Hood Protector. I like the textured flat black.

Picture 2, I had to protect my neighbor's identity. :ROFLMAO:

This came in over the weekend... However, my first turd nugget decided to come into the world a week early. I'll have to install somewhere in between feedings and diaper changes.
