kiss my rs Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Received my new 17" anthracite Raceline RLS rims today. They were supposed to come with nankgang's, as I declined the offer of upgrading the tyres to Falken ze512's, but they gave me the Falkens neways BUT I havent put them on the car yet for 2 reasons..... 1. As it was usual rainy weather today 2. Ive noticed that on nearly all of the rims there are a few imperfections, light scuffing where the tyres have been fitted (u can feel this with ur finger, but cant really see it), slight bubble's etc. What do you reckon? Should i ring the company (EVO PERFORMANCE) and tell them, as i dont want to fit them, then in a few months time they start to peel/flake or bubble badly then have no come back, or am i just being fussy? ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE W Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 To be honest mate they will be in a worst state in w few weeks with stone chips and stuff its impossible to keep them a1 ring them up and make them log what they are like then in a few weeks if they do crack or peal they have it on record that you told them there was a fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if i rember rightly, you didnt actually hit the curb with that wheel though did you!? PMSL Seriously though mate, i dont think you are being fussy. You ordered a brand new set of wheels, and ythe set you got wasnt perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiss my rs Posted November 17, 2004 Author Share Posted November 17, 2004 I got them from evo performance matey.............. EVO PERFORMANCE 0191 518 44 44 I rang 2day and they were deadon about it, I told them about the dimples etc, they said it was normal and they recognise the problem, and that it shouldnt progress into nething severe. And that if it did, they would fix or replace within a year. So hopefully everything will be fine. Why cant anything ever just go 100% smoothly? ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
