With that item, my near perfect SSR GT-1s perished for eternity at the hands of a careless tire changer, using a substandard machine. Had them refinished to no avail. Shop gave them a thick chippy finish that looked gross. On the bright side, I replaced the wheels with better Volk forged set. Anodized, not even painted.
