I purchased my set of Axis supermesh last month
and haven't been able to get them on the car because of quality issues with cosmetics.

The wheel was oversprayed. Slight wet spot that got too thick and dried up.

Here it is:

They offered a 20% reduction of the price of the wheel instead of going through the hassle of sending it back and getting a new one.

The guy at Axis was very nice he wasn't trying to force that on me and acknowledged quality issues.

He wanted to make me a satisfied customer but said that he checked the warehouse and most of the Supermesh wheels had some sort of cosmetic blemish.

No guarantees the next one he sends could be any better. Should I take the 20%. He said that if it pass the 3ft rule and I couldn't see it that it isn't a big deal.

Not including yours. I would take the 20% and be happy. =) Great looking wheels either way.

I'm very picky and notice little things like that.

I just want to make sure that it isn't something that is easily noticeable to folks who don't pay attention to detail like I do.

great value for the money. If I had some real cash, i would of have gone for a real 3 Piece wheel such as the LM or HRE

take the 20% off + get free spacers (h&amp;R is you can)

Take the 20%......IMHO

20% sounds like a reasonable deal. ....but what kind of bs is the 3ft rule???

TwisTTer

cheaply made? hmm, I don't know but they weren't cheap.

They look awesome in person. I think it was a great value. I love the LM's so much but couldn't justify spending all that on wheels right now.

But really how hard is it to not overspray a wheel?

does not make high quality stuff. they are attempting to capitalize on the market of enthusiasts who want a nice looking wheel but don't want to pay for it. it's evident in the quality of the final product and the construction process itself (cast).

please note that i mean no offense to any axis owners -- i think the prices high-end wheel companies charge are obscene, too.

price is relative ... compared to high-end they're not expensive

it's a matter of what matters to you, really. you should ignore that b.s. about the three-foot rule -- the only thing that matters is whether the wheel matches your personal expectations and standards. if it doesn't, get rid of it. if they can't promise you a product that satisfies you, go with a company that can.

ps. you should've seen the escapade i went through trying to replace wheel liners for my m3. since they throw those things around in shipment, i had to order them 4 times before i got a set that met my standards.
