Thanks guys. You have confirmed what I was thinking.

Mike at Aerocoat was apologetic and helpful. He has arranged for them to be picked up asap and assured me there will be 'turbo' service Nino mentioned. He even mentioned reimbursement without me saying anything.

I am hoping the second time round I do get the usual quality that other members have spoken about. Just annoying that I organised this weekend to sort out the wheels, tyres and spacers, then alloys are screwed and also the locking nuts and spacer nuts that were delivered by a different company were incorrect.

I got the wheels back a couple of weeks ago, this time with the centre caps as well.

-Huge area of peeling/bubbling on the back of one of the wheels

-and two centre caps have big marks from where they were mounted during the refurb (All have mounting marks but the other 2 are hidden when you put the VW caps back on)

-Oh and they came back a lighter colour than first time round?!




REALLY ANNOYING!

I can't be bothered spending more time packaging and waiting around for pick up and re-delivery.
Here are the wheels polished up, much better quality now (apart from issues above)

However again! you still have not got what you paid for, if that was me id be back on the phone ask to speak to mike, ask him for his email address and send him these pctures and ask him this question. "Mike look at the pictures, if you just paid XXX and you had to send them back and they come back like this what would you expect?"

He will more than likely say, i'll pick them up and redo them, say NO thats not good enough. you do not want to wait any longer you do not want to wait for them to be picked up, redone and have a 50/50 chance of them being wrong again.

Tell him you are willing to keep the wheels as are however you do expect them to offer a small refund considdering you have not received the "professional" finsih they promissed you. Stay clarm and explain that yo are happy that they first accknowedged there mistake and you where very happy with there "turbo" service but you feel there "turbo" service was maybe rushed to quickly and small mistakes have been made yet again. Explain that its not your problem whatever sutuation that has caused this from there end as you paid them for a service you quiet frankly have not recived.  :wink:

P.S hate you a littlebit for having them wheels  :nerd:

When you say:

I organised this weekend to sort out the wheels, tyres and spacers, then alloys are screwed and also the locking nuts and spacer nuts that were delivered by a different company were incorrect.


Are you sticking these on a different golf or car? What do you mean spacer nuts? I am planning to get this done next month, I thought it would just be a case of taking the wheels off, getting the tyres taken off then refurbished then tyres back on and straight on the car? Is this not the case?

He'll be putting on spacers to give a wider stance so longer wheel nuts will be needed
