Sorry for your misfortune, Im interested to see how this turns out - but even more so to see how they handle failures on tuned vehicles :)

I know, that's why I worded it like I did!

^^I am baffled.

Yeah car is 100% stock. The manager called me back about an hour later after talking with their insurance or whoever it is that is responsible for repairs. He said that they are going to go ahead and eat the cost on buying a new wheel for the car. He was real polite, thanked me for serving the country and said that's the least they could do. In 500 miles, he recommended bring the car in the drain and inspect the oil, cut the oil filter open and use a bore scope to check out the bottom of the drain pan for additional and/or bigger metal pieces. Kudos to him, kind of sad it took talking to the manager to fix the problem though. Those service advisors are robots.

I am glad they are stepping up.  Hopefully, an end to your problem is in sight.
