thats how i look at it.

I dont know if you guys are familiar with reverse mount rims, but to make a long story short.. discount tire scratched all my rims on the front lip. I was SOO pissed. I got my 100 bucks back, but its too late now...

I have never had this type of problem personally but some of my friends have...

The best way to deal with this is to call up Eagle pissed as hell and let them know it... if they try to sell u any BS tell you dont give a rats @$$ what their policy is, there is no damn reason for a brand new wheel to be peeling anywhere, front or back...

My friend has a camaro w/ a hypertech programmer and one day he was programming it and accidentaly pulled the cord out and fried his computer... he called hypertech cussing and screaming saying they F&*#ed his car up and they sent his out a new computer and programmer for free and anybody w/ a hypertech knows that it says in big bold letters DO NOT DISTURB CORD WHILE PROGRAMMER IS IN USE in the instructions... it worked for him and it was his fault so it should work for u... good luck

if they said they would replace them if the face of the rim chrome comes off, just keep peelin them until the face of the rim gets affected cuz they will eventually go to the face of the rim....my friend had a pair that did that and he had to get them rechromed

Are the rims cast aluminum or billet? I have the same problem w/ my Boyds. Got them dipped in chrome and 4 months later they were peeling. I called and started bitching and they are getting rechromed. Of course at their own rate. They told me it would be 1 month, but that was 2 months ago. They should be here by next week. Goodluck.
