    DW77 BBS Rim Refinish woes

    Figured I would just start a thread.....for documentation....

    Initial.

    This is what happens when you run into a BBS rim... With another car in the shop.

    Way to not accept it. How bad is it? Can't see detail on phone

    No sheet Sherlock.

    Supposed to pick up at noon.

    I really hate not having the ZHP on weekends. Ugh.

    Well....just picked up the rim. He could not "Match that there special paint".......and "it actually looks like that there rim is powder coated".

    No sheet.

    He will be telling shop Monday. Will be getting quote for powder coat.

    UGH...........



    Spokes starting at 6,7,8,9 are the ones affected.

    Willing to bet the average passerby would never notice.... But damn... These rims (and tires) are new!

    Sorry... Venting.

    Ahhh... It is what it is. Like the wife says, "Be thankful for what you have and don't worry about what you don't have"

    DW...............Worst case...........They buy you a new set of BBS rims, you sell me yours (at a very low price) and the world is a better place. Seriously, love those rims and they look "killer" on your ride...best of luck brother!
