Oh damn, I gotta let the vendor know to pack my wheels like they are fragile items 😬

[deviation01]

Dang man so sorry that happened. My first set they replaced one of the wheels due to lesser similar damage. The replacement they put guards in the packing to avoid that but really sucky. Not sure why they don’t do all the time!

One a related note my tires arrive tomorrow. Tire rack is running a 100 off on Bridgestones!

Hahah I have 2 extra wheels. They are not bad at all to be honest so I will keep them in case something happens. One has a paint chip thats clear coated over and the other has scratches similar to yours but not as bad. So very usable.

Yeah I got Potenza RE980AS.

Unfortunately same method. It took a while and they only provided tracking vs boat detail etc. So I was a bit skeptical but eventually FedEx updated and delivered.

Tires made it 😀

[peeezy]

last wheel came, but the box got dinged. the wheel is ok this time tho.

also how picky are u guys , wud u complain if theres dust or stuff under the clear coat finish on the inner barrel, like they didnt spray it in a dust free room

[richiro]

Condolences, total buzz kill.

Hopefully they sort it out with the logistic company instead of you having to deal w it.

Get it shaved down and use as a spare

[deviation01]

It depends I decided to live with some blemishes as the finish is not 100% perfect but also that happens with big name vendors too. I am more afraid of the damage wheel installers will do now trying to put on the tires!

[deviation01]

They are on. Other than a one inch scratch on the barrel inner side from the installer all good. They look amazing! Worth the wait and the car feels great tossing the RFT out. Also best part is the bmw caps fit no issue. The bore 66.6 was perfect fit too.

Looks great. Now you need some lowering springs 😀

hahahaha I wish. 100 bucks a month is not going to get KWs. The amount of work putting into editing etc etc its not worth it. I mostly do it to help people that like to be handy. Its a dying thing.
