That's my wheels..............correct............are they painted wheels? I guess I am confused......I always purchased Niche wheels in the past and they would scratch but never looked like paint chips...........

No problem. I don't know if they are painted or not, I think they may have a coating on them? These rims usually scratch if you hit a curb or something, so you just have to be extra-careful when parallel parking, that's all.

you mean my dealership service guys need to be careful and not hit anymore curbs..........they have paint chipped (1" spots) on several spots that a curb couldnt reach......just wondering every time a rock flips up from the road and hits them, maybe this has caused the chipping....I guess in a couple of years, they'll all be chipped up.......lol

The dealership is stating there is nothing wrong with having the wheels repainted and recoated and that BMW would say the same thing.............I said, then take those 18" wheels off of that 2004 CIC Convertible in the lot and put on mine, then have my two month old ones redone and put on the 2004 if it is no big deal.............well we'll let you know says the dealer........[hihi]

Then have them re-painted and re-coated to take the scratches out. It's not fair that your wheels should have scratches when it wasn't your fault. [V]
Big Daddy, that web page link is the exact page I used to find MyHarley's wheels. [thumb]

The saga continues.............the dealership states today that I will have to wait until September 24th for the BMW representative to be in town for him to approve replacing the wheels. They feel the wheels are defective and only responsible for one of the wheels due to hitting the curb. They feel the scratches from removing the tires from the wheels with the proper tools is due to faulty wheels. Also stated they will not take wheels from another car and put on mine that BMW will take the problem more seriously if a customer is actually attached to the wheels............and if my wheels are a part of the cause of vibration they do not want to put on another car and that customer come back after two weeks with vibration problems. I stated, yes let's make sure the imaginary customer who hasnt even bought the car yet does not have any problems. My salesman is now getting involved with the General Manager...........

I asked, when is my car going to be the ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE.
I asked, when am I going to have the ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

Thanks MrElussive and Big Daddy for the help.........I'm going to look on the internet and see if I can find a site that reports Style 72 problems.....
