I had two new tyres fitted by an OPC at the end of Nov but I didn’t check the rims after fitment which was daft.

Suggestion

either an errant tyre lever, or the guide on the tyre fitting machine set too close to the wheel rim and has dug into the wheel rim when the machine was rotated to get the bead over the rim.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Generation: 20261026T124918Z · outcome-qualification-6. Deterministic extraction; no AI model inference. How we use sources

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just been washing the car properly after in winter rest and was horrified to find rim damage on the offside rear. I had two new tyres fitted by an OPC at the end of Nov but I didn’t check the rims after fitment which was daft. I never street park, the car is just run from home and back again so I’m convinced it’s not curb damage. Any thoughts?

POST 3Original post

I’d guess most likely damaged during the tyre fitment process ... either an errant tyre lever, or the guide on the tyre fitting machine set too close to the wheel rim and has dug into the wheel rim when the machine was rotated to get the bead over the rim.

POST 4Original post

Could be anything but I damaged a 718S rim on an unavoidable pothole, with very similar looking result.
