Hi, I just changed to new rims and tyres yesterday. Not a second hand one. But i just noticed today, there are some white streak that seems like vein at 2 of my rims. May any sifus can tell what is this? The surface feels smooth though, i don't think it comes from scratches. Zoom in and you can see it clearly.  Thanks. Updated : Here's a pic of the other rims.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 31 2018, 01:32 AM) Looks more like refurbished rims. What size is this? 14inch. I'll try visit the tyre shop tomorrow or Saturday and ask them.

Already went back to shop, the tokey insisted that this is a new rim and the white streak happens because of old stock, he said. The only way he could fix this is to send it back to the factory and polish it again or i top up a bit and get a different rim. Sigh. Nevermind, as long as it is not noticeable. It's a Hyundai Matrix anyway.

QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Sep 4 2018, 02:34 PM) 1. Vossen got 14 inch? 2. Never trust those tyre shop when they say the rim is new when you found flaws on it. 3. what happen to previous rim? I find no reason to change stock to new rims with the size of 14 - 15 unless got damaged on stock. 4. 750 is very very very very exp for a 14.... Next time be careful la... Money not easy to earn.... The original owner of the car use 16 rim, after 1 year of use i think it's better to change back to stock 14. It's my first time changing rim and tyre, I'll use this as a lesson next time.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 3 2018, 10:26 PM) Got conned already, some small size China fake rims which is possibly refurbished, sold as new at high price some more. Next time blacklist that shop! Definitely won't go there anymore. If any of you from Terengganu, don't go to the Bridgestone tyre shop at Jalan Pasir Panjang,Terengganu.

QUOTE(ahchun @ Sep 4 2018, 07:40 PM) Be careful of replica rims. It's dangerous. Your life worth more than rm750 And from the picture seems like replica + refurbished Vossen do not have small rims What should i do then? Already spent 750 on rims.

QUOTE(ahchun @ Sep 4 2018, 07:47 PM) It really depend on you. If got budget, I definetly advice u to use original. Try Google and see replica rims quality. Let's say if i have budget. How to know if the rims are new and original? What's the estimated price range for 14inch? Rm400-500?
