I took my car to Autobell over the week end.

Like many car washs, there are rails to keep the car straight while it is pulled through the wash.

Taking a close look at the left front wheel, I noticed 3 scratches, one of them pretty deep, caused by the rail - needless to say I am furious!

Obviousely the rubber lip of the tire is not wide enough to protect the rim.

Any one of you experiencing the same thing???

I consider this a design flaw that should be covered by the warranty.

I've had my SRT-8 for 3 1/2 months. I wash it every day or two. Probably 50 times or more so far. Not one scratch on the rims. Sounds more like a Car Wash flaw then a flaw in the car design.
