They've never seen any type of chemical, have been washed one time with a bottle of meguiars car wash soap. Probably going to have them powder coated for next season, hopefully they can come close with the color.

I'm having the same problems. Maybe we should all email a complaint to nlmotoring.

We should compile a list of people and send XXR/NLMotoring a formal letter. These are warrantied for a year I believe. Instead of having them replaced and just go through the same thing all over again, I want to bring these to a shop and have them painted correctly, possibly powder coated.

Gonna powder coat my gold ones since they're already chipping since the paints so thin.

My bronze ones are fine so far with the exception of the curb rash lol

I think they skipped the prep on these bronzes or something, where the paint has chipped it's like a shiny black surface, no wonder the paint isn't sticking.

When I got my gold ones half of the back was missing paint. Was straight primer

I installed the pro kit, and the height is perfect for me. I don't scrape, drag, or rub with the 18x8.75 +35 XXR wheels with 225/40 tires. I installed the pro kit three months ago, and it's been great. A week ago, I noticed that bumps in the road offer a much more pronounced sound and feel than before, particularly from the rear driver's side. At first I thought that perhaps a spring was a bit loose, but after tightening everything, I still get this noise and a bit of a thud that I didn't have before. My next thought is that the rear bump stops have been crushed. I haven't had a chance to check them yet, but I was wanting to ask for some input. It's driving me crazy. Anyone have this experience?

Do you think there will be issues with 18x8.75 on sportlines?

Any fitness issues or tips? Coil? Springs?

Was thinking about getting the same wheels until I saw Varrstoen Es8. A better replica of the Work Equips.
