wheel damage need help!
Hey guys,
I took my car to Diamond Tire Center in San Rafael for wheel balance and they manage to damage my wheel...
http://www.diamondtirecenter.com/
the damage is deep scratch around wheel lug nut and outside of the hub on 2 of my wheel...
the owner agree to buy me new wheel or get them repair but i can't find anyone that sell them anymore.
Rota Tarmac 2 Bronze 17x7.5 5x100. I also called up a bunch of shops to get wheel repair but the shops say they can't do paint match to bronze.
The owner refuse to give me cash for the damage...
Any one know where I can get rota tarmac 2 bronze new? or some place that can paint match the color? or what should I do with this wheel shop...
the guy name is Paul and I don't recommend any one going there... the mechanic torque my wheel down to over 150 ft/lb. I broke 2 of my tools trying to remove lug nut.

Tarmac 2's in Bronze are fairly rare as we/Rota stopped importing this color a couple years ago on this specific model. We still carry the Tarmac 2 however they are only stocked in the common colors such as Gold and Steel Grey.
We do carry Rota touch up paint in Bronze. This isn't the best solution considering this shop damaged your wheel, but it will help to touch up the scratch and hide it.
PM me and or call me in the shop if you are interested in ordering a kit!
