Lets see those customer car pics!

I should get mine on this afternoon after new brakes and a bleed. Oh, also gotta wheel wax first to keep em looking purdy.

Waiting for a wheel stud kit and should have it and wheels on by next week. Will send a pic despite my car needing a bath. The wheels are way to shiny for my car right now.

The center cap stickers should be provided in one of your boxes, along with the cap removal tool.

We are negotiating a partial refund with the manufacturer.
This refund will be passed on to Group Buy purchasers of the wheels.
The wheels were cast using the original Kopi wheel dyes so there is no concern for safety issues.

Good looking out Mel.

powdercoat will cover up blemishes but honestly the material missing at bolt holes is worrisome. ever heard of a stress concentration? it goes without saying that the prospect of shelling out that much cash to fix brand new wheels has me feeling sick myself. I suppose it was naive to expect perfection from replicas, but safety should at least generate a bare minimum of quality checks. disappointing.

True, I was thinking only about the cosmetic pieces, not the missing aluminum on the inside of the lug mounting points. Any more money to make these right would probably cause some nasty brain short circuit followed by a long and painful death at the hands of my wife.

. Its amazing that this could have been missed by the manufacturer before delivery to the customer (Abrahams), especially since there is such a geographic distance between them.
