Default WARNING! Annv. 10 spoke wheels

I just recieved my anniversary 10 spoke wheels I ordered from GMpartsdirect and 3 of the 4 wheels are defective. The machine work on the edges of the spokes where it transitions from aluminum to black is horrible! On on of the wheels every spoke is rough as a result of poor machining. I sent an email to GMpartsdirect but I'm sure they will not refund my money or allow me to exchange the wheels because of their "non-returnable" policy. I'll post again when I hear back from GMpartsdirect.

Does the no-return policy say anything about damaged parts? They better give you a refund/replacement.

They don't look damaged, but poorly masked for painting.

That's awful. You'd think when it comes to a chunk of change that big, they would take care of you. I'm ordering mine through Pace, and they better not show up like that. Hope you can get this all sorted out man.
