    So just got a call from the wheel man. They messed up my order. They made bronze center with GLOSS bronze lip, instead of bronze with matte bronze lip.

    So do I take em anyway? Or cancel? He's cucking in work RC nuts if I take them.

    Ordered:

    Thanks LnP for the pics !

    I like the polished lip makes them more detailed with a different finish to the centre and the curved surface is made for shine.

    BUT

    I dont like taking something other than what I ordered, I dont like encouraging useless bastards, and then I have to look at it every day.

    BUT

    This may be one of those rare occasions that the error is an improvement.

    BUT

    If you wanted the fully dank dark look, the matt is required.

    BUT

    Even the slightest hesitation in being happy I would send them back and then post the number of a business where a cheap set of work wheels can be bought.

    i didn't want to jinx your post on what have you dont today to your zed post in regards to ordering your wheels, maybe i sub-conciously did it.

    Are you gonna be happy with gloss lips? End of the day if your unhappy why bother?

    Prefer gloss lips though, take the wheels nuts as a bonus.

    For the price you paid, you'd want to be more then happy with them. Not second guessing... Send them back if you aren't fussed.

    Ask them how much it would cost them to get the correct wheels in, then ask them to knock that price off the price you paid, plus bonus nuts!

    Gloss look nice but I suspect you're going for tough rather than classy.

    If you're not happy with it just say no thanks. Wheel nuts are cheap. Refinishing wheels is expensive.

    Yep, its not your fault that they are not what you wanted - send them back and get what you wanted, and it will be lesson learnt to everyone else to make sure they are right.

    Poll has spoken. Told him I'd take them anyway.

    I was going for the tuff look, but I do like how these look. Going custom bodykit anyway, I'm sure we (Al) can make it work.

    Was going to stay red, but that might change now, time will tell...

    Absolute worst comes to worst, I'll get the lips done in matt later on down the track.

    Regardless, will be the fattest rims going around, hoping the added bling lip will accentuate fattness. Real pics 2moro when I have them in my hands.

    Id be pissed

    of bid time, no surprises there, but having said that, I prefer the ones they sent, to the ones you ordered, still its not good enough that they sent you the wrong ones, Dheads.

    Yeah I'm a bit pissed off, hoping it turns out for the best tho. Spend a gajillion dollars on wheels and wait 3+months, and don't get what was ordered :(

    If you want to see what they look like on a black car let me know, of coarse I will have to run em around to see what they look like with brake dust on them. :br:

    Super fat wheels there Mike !

    Sexual, prefer the gloss lip.

    What sort of wide body are you going for? Mission do a 2+2 overfender that looks almost like factory.

    I don't want anything too out there, wide but smooth. Quite like the look of that mission actually...

    But I'll leave creative licence to ztoy ;)
