Wheel help

Can anyone get me the part number and price for a 2006 18" Painted SS Supercharged wheel.

I had to get a tire patched and dude comes out to tell me i have scratches on my rim. Bullshit, he did them. Tomorrow im going back and demanding a new rim. My car has 3000 miles, not a scratch or dent, not one single rim is damaged either. Yet i still did this? You can cleary see chips from where the installer was uncaring and stuck a bar to pry on the rim to get the tire off. There isn't a single way ANYTHING can get between the tire and rim to cause SEVERAL chips around the lip.

Yea, no big deal right? Except its not GM's fault. Also, Could the painter fix the lip as well?

Hm. We'll see. I would love to get them all powdercoated a darker gunmetal color, but I rather get the place that ruined my rim to get me a NEW one. It's not GM's fault it chipped, it's the tire installers.

yea it happens alot. i used to work at Sears Auto Center and i know how the people there mistreat customers cars. so what i started doing was taking pictures of my wheels before i would tak it in to a tire place for service. i would also hold something up showing the date so they couldn't say o that was taken previously. i'm definately gonna make sure i do it with these POS wheels. the paint is softer than the shell on M&M's LOL
