Agreed.  The scratches on my wheels from Sears, I STRESS, however, were very obvious.
It was a groove that went all the way around the wheel just inside the lip on the
edge.  You would have noticed had this been the case.  Probably from 50 feet back.  If
they had done the same thing to your rims, you would be as ticked as I was.  12 years
old or not!
