I think they are using paint Mike.

If its paint it's an awfully thin layer...

Those nicks are pretty normal for a daily driven car with satin-finish wheels.

Vossen probably won't cover you.

In two weeks? I've had wheels for far long on a DD that didn't sustain this type of damage in 20000 miles!

ive had mine about 8 months (gloss) and no chips like that at all. Although my tires arent stretched at all so nothing could hit that area on my wheels.

Yep, I notice them on my wheels every now and then and I just touch them up with a little paint.

I'm not making an excuse for Vossens quality, just saying it happens.

NOFATCHX 02-20-2012 02:20 AM

I expected it to happen here and there over time but not so many is such short amount of time

Sorry this happened so soon... Great looking wheels though! I hope this can get fixed. Powder coating is definitely my choice over paint! Good Luck! :tup:

It just sucks that the OP needs to repaint or powder coat 2 week old rims...

NOFATCHX 02-20-2012 12:13 PM

Exactly ^

Another couple hundred bucks to fix a problem that shouldn't exist ......so soon.

If you want we can send this issue to Vossen, the chips are coming from your stretched tires which are exposing that curved parts to a ton of rocks. Let me know we will be more than happy to submit and see what they say.

NOFATCHX 02-20-2012 03:06 PM

If you could that's be great
