If you're still inside your warrenty you may be able to get them to pay for it.
As long as they didn't decide that the chip was because of an impact, then you'll have a fight on your hands.:blah:
If you are outside warrenty - you're SOL my friend.

You'll have to pay to get them redone........$$$

Cool

I found an SLP website called "Garage sale" and it has 2 types of wheels that SLP uses for sale on it. When I talked to them on the phone they said every now and then they have rims returned due to sub-standard finishes or warranty claims like yours. Just call SLP and as long as you are in the warranty period, they should make it right with you. I bought a set of the chrome 10 spoke SS rims for mine and they look great and it only cost $300.00 for the rims and another $80.00 for shipping.

Look at the pics of my car and decide for yourself.

Thumbs up

I got the better quality of the 2 choices shown on the "Garage Sale" web site. All I did was use my dremel and buff on them a little and wash them (you could tell they had tires on them at one point). No cracks or blemeshes on the face. One of them had a little of the chrome starting to peel off on the part that the tire covers when it is installed (between the beads). But that never shows anyway. Maybe I just got lucky, but for $380.00 it was worth the risk and it paid off for me.
