sounds similar to Discount Tire.

I started by asking the manager to mind the rings and use stick on weights same as what were on there, I guess my request went over his head and/or offended his professional sensibilities, I was completely ignored.
When I returned the 5th time after rebalancing and being told by the fellow with 3 teeth in his head that, "them there wheels are awful hard to balance, I never heard of them Borbet rims, looky here it got self centering lug nuts", I had to look at wtf they were doing.
Not only did they have weights clipped on both sides of the rims, lots of them, they had lost one of the rings. I wasted an entire day, had to get rings sent from Tire Rack because they had no idea where to obtain such a rare commodity AND spend another Saturday with these mensa turds and drive 70 miles a day on a ****ed up bouncing tire for a week. AaAAAAAarrRRRRgggGGGHhhHHH!!!!!
After this week of torture they said, "Don't forget to come back for your "free" rotation and balance every 5,000 miles."
Gun please.
I thought I must be dead, the maggots are everywhere!!!
Yes, you DO need rings.
