Local Car Wash=Ruined rims!! I was super lazy and stopped at a local car wash on the way home. After all said and done I now have a bunch of paint missing from my wheels. They barely spoke english, so I have to call the owner tomorrow and complain. What do you guys/gals think is the best way to get my rims painted or replaced by them? Or am I SOL?

Re: Local Car Wash=Ruined rims!! I'd argue to get them replaced with new ones. If you're going to argue for it, might as well go all the way for it. 
Repainting wheels the right way where you won't have problems down the road would be a pretty good PITA as far as the surface prep goes. If it was from something on the machine scraping against the wheels (not just water pressure) you can also argue that the wheels is physically and not just asthetically damaged. hehehe

They should have insurance for stuff like this. Make them pay for replacements!

Another reason to wash your own damn car, and to never let mexicans touch it

But I still wash my car, if anyone is going to ruin the paint it will be me.

Anyway, he is in Miami, they were probably Cuban.
They should have insurance and should have to pay for them.
