Default Rim Painting

Quite simply, my new rims are the wrong colour/pcd, whichever way you want to slice it. I'm still deciding whether to have them sent to me or to wait another 3 months for a fresh set to be made up. Rays admit they fucked it, but they will not repaint them again.

They made my gunmetal rims with the WRX pcd, and made another customer's bronze rims in STi pcd. (I have an STi). I'm not sure how bronze would look on a Crystal Grey car.

So i'm wondering if it's possible to replicate the colour and paint quality of these rims, if i were to have them resprayed. I'm damn fussy, and i want it to be perfect. I don't want a backyard job, i will pay money if the work is superior.

If anyone can help, please do!

If its the wrong PCD dude, then fark that. They wont fit, PLUS they're the wrong colour. I would demand your money back, and go and see someone else.

You've waited nearly double what they have quoted you man.... they've had their chance. You shouldn't have to go out of your way in order to try and rectify their fark up.

You wont replicate what Rays do ex-factory. Even on my bronze wheels the lip is a polished bronze with the spokes a very coarse textured bronze.

Did you order yours through Perfect Run? I had absolutely no issues with my order through them. They told me it would take 6-8 weeks to manufacture, 2 weeks later the wheels were ready for shipping.

Yep perfect run very easy to deal with. peace of mind.

on topic, don't 'settle' for anything, you paid hard earned money you deserve to get what you set out to do in the first place, never settle for second best!

Nope, i ordered through JDM Imports. But i will try to get my deposit back now, and buy through Perfect Run.

*Sigh* Shit happens. I can't begin to tell you how pissed i am. It's like those 3 months just gone were all wasted in anticipation.
