Just took advantage of Diode Dynamics Black Friday discount and bout some LEDs... City lights, Front Turn signals (Switch backs), license plate bulbs, and interior map lights. For less the $100 bucks. Went with Cool white coloring.
Have any of you had experience installing the lights?

Turn signal and city lights are tougher, you'll need to take the wheels off and remove the fender liners to get to the insides of the headlights.
Good luck! LEDs transform the ambiance of the car very drastically.

Just got back from picking up the wheels from the shop and I drove home to get the tires, went straight to discount tire, and opened the trunk door and it looked like this:
Now I had them wrapped around towels/rags so I don't understand how the paint could come off so easy...
I spoke to him and he's gonna touch it up with paint but if it doesn't look good and I want it repainted he's gonna charge me again.
He said he put the last layer of paint on a day before I picked them up....
PS: they were painted not powder coated.

Im no expert on the subject, but you're going to have a hard time convincing me that the damage can be blamed on the painter.... (I don't know his curing procedure) but thats an awful lot of rash. Hopefully the touch ups work out

They look like they got bounced pretty good on the ride over like B said above... neither of us saw your wrap job but I think we both came to the same conclusion. He was probably correct stating that they could be mounted, no reputable tire shop would cause damage like that.
Please believe that I have sympathy for your situation... wouldn't wish it on anybody.. just having a hard time following the story

It doesn't take much to gouge paint. Scratched the hell out of the gloss black finish on my spare before I realized what was happening.
For me, the bigger question is how red wheels are going to look on the car. That's a pretty bold choice.
