Factory Reproduction wheel issues
I received my Viper reproduction wheels and to my disappointment the machine work around the bolt holes is all funky and wavy and poorly finished. Looks like someone did the work with a hand grinder. I know a few of you guys have these wheels. Do yours look like this? Give me your opinion.
Thanks, Dave

I have comp grey painted FR SRT8 reps..
of my 4 wheels, 3 are not noticeably blemished but 1 the paint is definitely wavy and not finished as cleanly/smoothly as the other 3 when you look at an angle you see it best..
but after polish not very obvious unless really closely looked at..
also i have 1 that is always losing 3 psi compared to the other 3, and it also has an "out of round" look but I know eyes play tricks sometimes so until I have hard data as to why I'm losing 3 PSI I cant say its the wheel for sure, maybe I have a slow leak or just a bad tire (doubt it, but who knows, been this way basically from the 1st few weeks after I put them on )
so far the price is right tho for 22's,
could be a few bucks less bit definitely not a bad deal on a set of 4 deucey-deuces..
i think I remember a paper coming in the box that said something like no returns for cosmetic blemishes or something like that lol - thats a big turn off for me if it did say that tho, But I wouldn't have bothered anyway unless it was clearly and obviously badly finished...
