So my long awaited packages arrived on Fri!

[attachment=18364:IMGP4136__Medium_.JPG]

I can't wait to get them on my car! Maybe I'll have a chance to do that tonight, but I doubt it. Might not be until this weekend.

Question I had though, how picky should I be on the finish? There is one wheel that has a nub on a spoke. It is the size of a piece of sand. Not real noticable, but there. I'm most concerned with how this will effect the finish in the long term. I don't want to have problems with the finish bubbling there or something else. If these were cheap wheels I wouldn't care, but these things are pretty expensive.
Also, one of the wheel caps is dented slightly along one edge. Kinda looks like it smashed the rim really hard during shipment.
I just really don't know what I should be expecting in quality. I don't want to call and make a stink about it if this is normal. Let me know what you guys think!

It's your car. If you are happy then that is what counts.

But my feeling is this:
Unless you paid the 'scratch and dent' price, why accept scratch and dent wheels?

Pics of em' right out of the box. You're def excited and how long did you wait cuz you made it seem like forever. Only you will notice the minor discrepancies so if you can live with them... The finish will be fine.

Those rims are going to look really nice on the red MS6. Can't wait to see pictures of them on the car.

 

[Speed6Turbo]

For real. They are nice. In all reality, if you are happy and can live with it, like others have said, then just mount them suckers and post some pics...

As much as those are, I wouldn't keep the bad one period. Aren't those the Mazdaspeed forged wheels?

I would call them, Mazdaspeed rims aren't cheap. like stated, if u paid a "scratch and dent" price then so be it, but if we order a set of wheels for a customer and there is a little chip or a tiny bubble of even a little nub like u got I called them, mainly because if the customer notices it then it reflects on us, they really don't care if u called customer service, they would probably just have u send it back then ship u a new one, least give em a call. or just tell them it's s chip... not like they'll persnally inspect it...

You are going to go through all the trouble of waiting and getting the rim changed out only to get curb rash. I can feel the karma from here. I'd probably just live with it and never say a word about it again.

I want those for my red MS6 can't wait to see pics.

 

[airjeff]

Yeah, I'm a little excited. I didn't have to wait that long once I ordered, only about two weeks.

I'm contacting the dealer to see what they think. Right now I'm leaning towards just keeping the stuff.

I'll post some pics when I get them mounted!

just a few questions... where did you get the rims from? would you have to pay for shipping/handling if you had to return the rims for a new one?

 

[mazdaspeedguy]

SWEET!

I think if he wanted to return them, it would be at his cost since he didn't inspect the items and refuse shipment right there and then...

I think you got the wrong Mazdaspeed rims but hey...that's just me
for what it's worth, mine didn't come with a nice felt cover.

You should be anal about the rims since you probably paid more than I did. If I saw any imperfections on my beauties when I received them, you bet Jason would hear about it!
