That doesn't seem to add up if you've only got 200 miles on them.

I have a few very small chips, but I had my wheels painted over a year ago and 15K miles ago. I agree that their prep process/paint process seems to be the culprit.

 

Ive had mine for a year now, and the paint is still new.

 

i've had my matte blk gts for well over a year w/no problems

 

Thanks for the input from all of you, this is very interesting to know and very helpful. Hopefully I can prove to Rays that something is actually wrong here. Keep em comin'!

 

Other owners don't have that issue so maybe you have an angry ex-GF or something? Plus you said that you work as a painter so I'm sure you work with paint thinners and other chemicals that might have gotten on your car/wheels

 

Haha, I hope your joking. No angry GF could replicate this problem. This car or wheels have not been harmed by chemicals because its in storage. Also, if a thinner or chemical were to get on paint, it would either wash the paint off entirely or cloud it up...not cause small areas to flake off.

 

I think the biggest thing I have against volks is their paint isn't up to par with what they charge.. Especially the diamond Cut lips.. other finishes are decent.

 

Unfortunatley mine is not even proving to be decent.

 

Just shipped out a wheel to be inspected today, hopefully Volk comes through for me...if not I will never buy a Rays wheel again...

 

the quality of the finish on mine seemed cheap aswell. 19" RE30 in matte "titanium gunmetal" beautiful color but so sensative i would wait and go out of my way to only one guy i trusted to mount tires on them. finally getting them refinished, thought powder coating might be stronger and longer lasting. sad i have to spend $110/wheel for a better finish on something that retails for about $900/each, but i still love em

 

I feel you pain man, I am sad to see another person with my problem. How long did you run your wheels before the paint started chipping?

 

 

Thanks to all who want to joke about my $3000.00 problem. I know the pics suck but the description tells the story...

 

hey, sorry to hear about the chips, i Just ordered my gts phantoms, hope that doesn't happen to me !

 

I hope your praying it doesn't, drop 3g's on rims to have the paint fall off in the same week you mounted them.....

 

Worst outcome EVER! Sorry Volk/Rays.....you FAIL

 

What happened

 

seriously, did they screw you?

 

?? What happened

 

damage wasnt significant enough im guessing
