wtf broke my enkei rs6

im not sure how it happend, or when. I drive my turbo II as a DD & about 2 weeks ago got new tires for it. I think when they mounted the tire they cracked my spoke clear through (and the rs6 spokes arent thin). is it possible to do that the way they put tires on? when i put the rims with new tires on the car i looked at all 4 rims they looked scratched up and one of the enkei stickers was not in the right place. it moved sideways and you could see the glue.. like someone rubed it against something but noticed no cracks... I drove it once then had to leave for college the next day. I had to leave the car home because my rebuilt clutch master cylinder went out and had to order new replacement. I get a call from my dad saying he noticed the rim is cracked at first he thought it was just a paint chip. so I either missed it when i looked at them or it happend while he was just leasurly driving it around town while i was at school.. i'm pissed. looks like ill have 2 wait 2 more weeks on a new rim $160 to bring the car down here. ill post a pic when i get home

Sucks. Might wanna try a rim shop that specializes in aftermarket rims. I hate to say it, but a shop that puts on 22's, and 24's may be a little more careful since they are used to mounting 24" chromes and have to be very careful all the time.
