Laquer Cracking on my bbs's!!!!!
« on: May 20, 2009, 08:55:39 pm »
Hey guys just had the car out the garage to go get me barnet cut  :innocent:  And as I walked back to the car I noticed the front drivers side rim covered in what looked like scratch marks?! But on closer inspection it seems that the laquer on the centre's of the rim is starting to crack :angry015: :angry015:!!!! :sad:  Now These are only just back from Wrc at preston a month ago and been on the car less than 2 weeks!!  Needless to say I'm not pleased :jumping:

Here's a few pics

Na not yet Tc only just noticed it this evening and thats the 1st I've had the car out the garage since last wednesday as I was away in Ireland until sunday evening or I would of seen it by now  :sad:

Going to give them a phone in the morning find out what they'l do  :sad1:  Thing is if you stand at a distance you can't see it only when your up close for the light hits it! Either way it ain't pretty  :jumping:

is it possible small stones have caused it whilst traveling, i no it shouldn't but if the laquer was really soft would that be how they are caused.  :confused:

IMO definately not, they have mixed the paints wrong or they have applied it wrong, they will get alot worse IMO, I have seen it before

defo not stone chips Tc as the laquer ain't chipped!  You can run your finger over the area's on the rim and as you do so  they almost disappear for a few second's then come back?!  :confused:

Have you been over any deep potholes ?


These sometimes can damage your wheels   -    not sure if it will damage the way on your pictures :sad:
