Default Just got my new wheels. One is scratched (dented?) Should I keep it?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/266/p5161126.jpg"></center><p>Check out the picture. It's a kind of small mark on the edge. It's not too bad and I would probably do that within 6 months anyway. But it seems wrong to have a messed up wheel right from the start.

Tirerack has offered $100 if I keep the wheel. Should I do it?

Thanks.

Default Hell no... make them send you a new one!

If it was on the inside, then take the $100.00... but those BBS wheels are not cheap, and hopefully the price you paid will serve as a reminder every time you park your car...

And trust me... the 100 they offer... gets them off easy... have them send you a new one, and a UPS call tag to pick up the damaged one...

Default make them overnight you a new one. That Is BS

For the amount of money you spent and for quality that is terrible. BBS is a fine wheel and if they don't pack them right you are screwed. Especially since they mounted it

Default Ok I'm pretty **** but I'd keep it

for 150...the cost it would be to get the whole wheel refinished in the future- You're bound to eventually get scratches far worse than that...You could pay for several scratches at once...
I don't think 100 is enough though...It looks to be more than just a superficial scratch

I guess it's what is more important to you, $100 or a pristine wheel. (I'd take the cash!)

Default Not on the BBS'! Have them pay to pick up the new wheel and send you another

It'll cost you about $50 to refinish the lip, and it probably won't look like all the others once it is refinished.

Thanks everyone! I decided to get a new wheel. Can't stand to pay so much and not get perfect stuff.
