Hello all,
I picked up my Mk7 GTI wheel from the refurber's this morning, and I grumbled at them straight away. I'm not sure if I'm being fobbed off on point 1, see what everyone thinks here.
1. There alloy has been repolished, and lacquered. I noticed 2 small bubbles in the surface, I asked what they were and I was told it was the alloy giving off gas. I would prefer them to be re-done, but I was told it was an artefact of polished alloys. I said that none of my other alloys had the problem, and I was told they would probably be able to see defects.
2. They've rebalanced the wheel so I can see the weights. I think this is a bit amateurish to be honest.
Am I being unreasonable??

Probably not but I guess they don't want to re-do the work!
2 is pretty crap, stick on weights for the inside of wheels have been around for forever.
1 is hard to judge - how visible really is it? will it always annoy you? if so then convince them to do the wheel again!!
