Got mine from UPS on Friday. As my luck would have it for the second time now one of the packages of lug bolts busted open and chipped up one of the wheels. Hopefully the replacement will get here fast. These were supposed to go on Friday.
Here is a picture of them in Gunmetal on my Mini, I'm pretty sure when I was fitting them it had made in Germany on them they are also TUV approved which is required by law in Germany
Are those 17's or 18's? Don't see them on Tire Rack in an 18 for the CPR S
Hey thanks UPS driver who saw a label for 4 packages only delivers 3 and doesn't come back to deliver the 4 then tries to say it wasn't in truck. Thanks to UPS customer service who was straight with me and let me know driver just forgot to deliver.
So I took my car in yesterday to have the tires balanced to get rid of this ongoing vibration that I've had. Today while I was cleaning all the tire shine off the wheels that they put on I noticed that instead of popping the center caps off from the back they took a screwdriver and pryed them out from the front. REALLY!? Who the hell does that? The reason I know they did this is because they dug into the paint and chipped it off on all 4 wheels. Now I have 4 new wheels with paint chipped off around each of the center caps. How should I handle this? They are definetly getting a phone call in the morning but what should I expect as an acceptable solution to what they did to my nearly brand new $1000 wheels?

WOW! Are you KIDDING ME? I would BE LIVID. I am not sure what I would do in your case! I would probably ask for new wheels. You don't want them refinished when they are brand new.
I have my local tire shop install by hand (no air gun) and they remove centre caps from behind (like you should).
