Exclamation Vossen wheel issues!

I bought a brand new set of vossen VVSCV3's and hankook v12's from discount. After 2 weeks the paint bubbled and started to chip off so discount asked for another set to be shipped. As soon as they came in the new set fresh out of the box had scratches and chips. It has now been around 3 months and the store manager called me today and told me vossen said I can either keep the messed up wheels or send them back for a refund. Im pretty pissed due to paying $3000 and taking 3 months just for them to tell me to **** off. Looks like I will be sending the vossen's back. I love the concave look but not enough for that kind of customer service. Ill gladly take my $3K somewhere else! Any ideas on some concave wheels? I have a 05 G on oem suspension. I want 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 rear in a gunmetal finish.

jus take the refund and order else where. vossens arent hard to find. but if it was me i woulda settled for the chipped wheels (assuming its not horridly chipped) if they gave u partial refund. my logic is the wheels will get scratched eventually anyway lol

Boy am I glad I didn't buy Vossens, check the Rennen C-10 I have a set and people are going crazy over the way they look on my coupe I have 20x8.5 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear with a 20 offset front and rear they're concave and they resemble Vossens a little but cost a lot less $1400 for the set minus tires. I had a cop pull me over just so he could look at my car. lol true story.

People not taking care of them?

MY WORK wheels still look like new, and they dont weigh as much as those anchor cast wheels.
Im surprised people pay that much for cast wheels
