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.

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!

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.
