tinting problems and alloy wheel help pls

hi recently i had my windows tinted by a company called midland tinting and there were no bubbles or creases however the tint did not stick to the dotted section arount the edge of my window. anyone else had this problem?
and i would like some nice and wide wheels and tyres for my 1.4 16v gps and i was wondering how wide can i go?
thanks in advance

The tints shouldn't lift around the dots, although you do sometimes get slight air bubbles in that area because its tricky to push every bit out.... Might be worth going back and getting them to heat it up slightly to restick it, best not to do it yourself though as any warranty they gave you will be worthless if you've tried to fix it.

Have heard its a common problem. On a warm sunny day, wet your finger and run it around the dots on the inside of the screen a few times, it should sort the problem. Thats what I did on mine and its fine now!

How bigs your budget and how much work are you willing to do?

Re: tinting problems and alloy wheel help pls

ok thanks for all this guys ive actually got him to fit new ones on monday now so well see how that goes with the tints.
and as for the wheels i was wanting to get some that would fill the arches width ways perfectly and be 18" but im actually getting tempted to just spacer mine wider to make it look abit better. anyone know where you can get wheel spacers which dont break the bank?
