Default Help with Clearcoat on LE37's

Hey guys,

Is this normal for the clearcoat to look like this or is it damaged?

I have a 4-week-old set of LE28n's and the lip looks just like that. In fact it looked just like that when they were brand new in the box, before anyone ever used them. Unfortunately I think it's 'normal'.

PM a rays wheel vendor...they might have a solution....Andy, status,..etc... There were a couple of threads like this a while back, and I believe the owners had the entire clear top coat removed and just had it polished or re-chromed...
