New rim damaged? I just bought these (chrome ZR1s) from SLP and noticed that one of the wheels has a chip on the inside of the lip. You can see from the picture that in reality, it's not very big, and isn't going to be visible once the tire is mounted. My concern is that it may cause an issue with the tire sealing to the wheel once mounted. I sent this image to SLP on Friday and got an e-mail back saying that it would be forwarded to their sales department, so I'm still waiting for a response. What do you guys think?
I'd make them replace it because of corrosion, as well. Once the candy shell of the chrome is compromised, it's only a matter of time before the corrosion starts peeling the chrome.
So even if it doesn't leak right off, it would be pretty likely to develop over time.
