Aerocoat refurbished - help please [Pics]

[Jin_C]

Hi all,

I've just got my BBS RC Anniversaries back from Aerocoat. I'm not sure what to think of the quality. The wheels have lots of 'bits' underneath the surface. I have never had alloys refurbished before so I am not sure if my expectations are too high. The wheels were brand new fresh from the VW boxes. So I can guarantee that there was no structural issues only the milky lacquer issue (Even when they were brand new boxed!)

I have added pictures, am I right in thinking that the wheels should now be completely flat without any imperfections at all? Would you try to get them re-done?

p.s. the black marks are artefacts from my phone due to HDR shots not on the alloys.

 

Pitting and 'bits' in the corner where spoke and rim meet

I know Rich had his done by Aerocoat and Im fairly sure they didnthave those issues

That looks quite poor IMO

What state were they in when you sent them off?

[Jin_C]

They were direct from the VW boxes. So only the milky lacquer issue. No road use at all.

Having to cancel my tyre install now. Wheels were already a week late, now gotta wait another week while they pick up and re-do them.

I just checked the other 2 unopened boxes to confirm which ones had to be sent back and one had a massive scratch on the edge of the rim! That's worse condition than I sent it in.

That's very poor! I'd be straight onto the phone demanding that they redo them

Called and have arranged for them to be picked up on Monday and re-done.

First thing I'd be doing to asking to speak to the manager. Ask him what he is going to do for you as "just picking them up and re-doing them" is not good enough. I would expect at the very least turbo service getting them redone and some of the money back that you paid to have them done as you say they where a week behind doing them? Looks like a right rush job was done to me and they look like they have not been powder coated but rather a water based paint job.

If they won't do that id be asking for a refund and take them elsewhere mate and explain to the manager that your not trying to be awkward but you have invested a lot of time and money into these wheels and lets face it there not your av £80 wheels there limited edition anniversary wheels and you don't expect anything less than factory finish.

Explain your a member of a highly respected club and that his business came highly recommended via that club and it would be a shame to go back and tell the club that they where lieing... Good luck pal and keep us updated.
