Send that one back or email a photo to the company. They might issue you a refund for you to keep the wheel. That isn't a bad place to have a defect as the tire will cover most of it.

ouch.

i love how it states "Each individual wheel had surpassed our rigorous X-Ray, Spectrum analysis, Balance, Air-Leak, Salt/Acid Spray, Fatigue, Impact, Bending Endurance testing. They are manufactured with the highest quality A-365.2 aluminum alloy" ... then you get something so obviously flawed. Did the box have any damage to it? Was it wrapped up nicely in the shipping container - you can tell who's fault it was from that...

zizo72, sorry for all the trouble you're going thru.
so, what are you planning to do with the replica? Return for a refund?
Also, you mentioned that these wheels are very heavy. Do you suspect or know if the OEM wheels are lighter?
thanks.

they are at least 10 lbs heavier (each). I gave the seller -ve feedback so shut the communication. I will keep them in my basement as a spear for the OEMs when I buy them.

rh71 I know you bought yours from wheels and caps. I am now chosing between them or OEM. ($820 Vs. $1950) You had yours for a while. Any issues with them?
