Shouldn't you be more upset with Tire Rack on how they are handling the situation?
The problem is you ordered the China made ones, not the Japanese ones. http://www.enkei.co.jp/wheels/

OP you could have emailed Tirerack this picture straight off their webpage, and accuse them of bait and switch (isn't this a felony idk).

As for the 4th wheel which appears to be correct...ever thought THAT one may have too much paint and be the actual mistake? |

Would this be more of an issue with black-painted (or gold-painted) wheels?
I would suspect the basic silver ones wouldn't exhibit this issue? |

Recently got some NT03+Ms, fully painted no issues.
Also talked to the enkei reps extensively regarding their lineup- I can tell you they appeared to me to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Sounds like most of your issue is with Tirerack. Also I don't think you really need a 50k/yr account with Enkei to be a dealer. In fact quite the opposite, quite a few small time shops around me carry enkei wheels at similar to online prices. Having a relationship with the north America distributors is pretty important if you're running a business imo- it lets you get more accountability out of them.

Anyhow, price is not the point, nor those the way a business in canada, ordering parts from the US, using some channel of distribution is the point. I could make a topic on that and explain the way this industry work to about anyone, and also point the difference between canadian customer/shop and typical us customer/shop. But here this is not the point.You are right about the accountability, but pricing structure dictate otherwise. Enkei prefer to have 10 wholesaler who's gonna take care of 300 dealer. Which is normal.. |
