I don't want to say which shop it is since I am friends with the owner (our dogs play together...). In their defense, they did hook me up in a pretty big way by "upgrading" the rims to Open Pros from Open Sports for free.

Lining up the labels, leaving "parallel" spokes over the valve holes, etc are things I know don't have anything to do with the functionality of the wheel. But they are things I notice on other wheels as a mark of quality. Or at least as a mark that the builder cared enough about the little details to do so -kind of like lining up tire labels with valve stems (which actually does serve a purpose...).

So, you don't think I am out of line to ask them to re-lace?
