Hi all,

I just got my te37 time attacks in today. They look awesome but I have a question. On the red lip part, when I look close, there is black overspray. You can see little black dots of black paint on the red basically. One wheel has a streak of black going through the red part . One of the front wheels, there is a patch of red that looks like the paint was not fully mixed. You can see a swirl of dark red and some lighter red.

Does anyone with time attacks have this problem? The seller told me to take pics and I could get a replacement. But I jsut want to know if I am jsut being too **** about some black overspray of if I really got screwed up rims.

Thanks,

For what they cost, you can afford to be **** about them.

 

talk to the ppl you ordered them from!

 

yeah for that much $ they should be perfect.

 

YOUR SOLUTION

 

No way. Tell the seller about this, if not fixed, refund time. What are those knock offs or something?

 

Maybe they weren't originally time attacks and they had a body shop do it. That's some major QC problem coming out of Rays.

 

pix!

 

Yea i have some pics at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/33858688@N00/

But my crappy camera cant pick up the overspray really well. I am going to have a buddy come over with a good cam and take some pics tomorrow. The wierd part is WHY would the black paint be on the red? I would they they paint the rim black FIRST then do the red lip?

I dont think they are knockoffs. I got them from a reputable dealer here and the stickers on the box and rims says they are te37 le fb/r. I am thinking the fb is flat black and the r is red, so i am pretty sure they are real.

Only problem is that I am guessing that I have to ship them back to cali?? And I wont have any wheels for my car. The seller is still waiting on some photos of the rims so I dunno what will happen.

I would try that touch up paint but i would have to paint almsot the entire red part again .

 

Just ask for an adjustment on what you paid for. Makes it easier for everybody.

 

How long did it take you to type your sig..my eyes =

 

Man for over 4k just for wheels i would be raising cain to who ever you orderd from imo .

 

volks cost too much for that shyt. they are probably factory seconds.

I heard someone reporting these to Rays, should have the answer soon...
