So Ive had my CV3s for 2 weeks now, they have the gunmetal finish. The rear wheels have a slightly stretched tire, nothing extreme. Im a very cautious driver, I stay away from debris and uneven roads, I haven't come in contact with anything such as a curb or pot hole.
Today I noticed more light chips in the gunmetal finish. One wheel has 5 the other has 3. They range in size from 1mm to 2mm. The chips are white on a gunmetal surface so they stand out. Its only been 2 weeks and I have this many, Im worried about how they are going to look in a couple months! For $500+ a wheel Id of thought the finish would be far more durable. Im sure if these were a brushed aluminum wheel these chips wouldnt even be an issue. Theres no metal damage, just surface damage. ![]() Has anyone with any other type of gunmetal finished Vossen had this problem? The wheels look awesome and get many compliments but Im very concerned and foresee having to get these wheels refinished before summer even starts. What material is use for the gunmetal finish? Paint? Powdercoat? I had flat black powdercoated wheels on my last Z and never once had a issue with the finish coming off and the wheels were on my previous car for 20000 miles.... Heres a few pictures I took tonight, theres a few more but they werent visible in the pictures... ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by NOFATCHX; 02-19-2012 at 08:17 PM. |
