Repainted Rims

I just got 3 out 4 rims that I send to get resurfaced. I am sending one rim back to be repainted because of bubbles on the paint. I need some advice, should I return all four rims as others have small waves which show on the face. It is hard to explain but I am placing two pictures of this. The rep informed me that Hypersilver is a very difficult color for them to replicate but they can try to fix the issue as best they can. Can some of you help me with this please? Do any of you notice the waves the pictures show on your repainted factory color? I have research and it seems that what he informed me is true, and I do not want to send back the rims if they will look the same or possibly even worst. Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Gowner

Are those powder coated or painted? Sometimes it's not actually the prep or anything like that. If the wheels are cast, it could be slight imperfections in the casting that is showing through. Paint fill in those types of things a bit better than powder coating from my experience.

RaheemG35 I checked out the website but from the distance they take their pictures my wheels would look perfect. These wheels have been painted and only two need to be returned. I will be sending the two back and hope they look better. I will post pictures of the wheels I will not return. Take care and thanks to all who have commented.

Thanks once again RaheemG35 and believe me when I tell you I am just running low on patience! I wished my car had the wheels and tires installed as my current tires are about 60% and weather is not helping.
