axis spider wheels.....

Ok I just got my car out of the shop yesterday and took it to put my wheels on. I bought the wheels from a .org member and in the box they looked awsome. Today I looked at the car and noticed that my rear passenger wheel is a different color. I know the wheels are hypersilver but 3 have a gunmetal look and the 4th one just looks silver. I just spent over 2000 bucks on wheels and tires and I would have never thought this could be a problem. I havent taken pics yet but will post some soon. Maybe its AXIS?? Does anyone else have axis wheels that dont match?? This sucks!! someone please help!

Ok Well if anyone else notices this let me know. I see a huge difference from that one wheel when compared to the other 3. I couldnt notice it when they were in the box but now its very clear. Sorry the pics are so big.

I doubt its a "defect" from the factory, sorry to say but you might have gotten screwed. Get ahold of the seller asap b4 you put 'em on your car

Maxed up is the guy I bought them from, his name is Henrik, he is a very nice guy and I sent him the pic to show him but he has not responded yet. I dunno if he will do anything but I certainly dont want my car to look like this for to long. I like the gunmetal color. The color is suppose to be hypersilver which is pretty dark on the other wheels. Il post some other pics:

Front passenger side wheel:

Rear passenger side wheel:

By the way, how do you like the Falken 451's? Planning on getting them in 245/40/19, would be interested in any feedback you have.

Those tires look kinda small actually, and on gigantic obese 6th gens they look even narrower.
And any wheel can have a big lip if you tuck the spokes inward.

Henrik is a great guy to deal with. I'm sure he'll work with you on this, just give him time as he's usually very busy.

Really nice wheels, but do not worry about being scammed by Henrik. He is a good guy.
