Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2 - lacquer issue

<< < (2/4) > >>

MAT ED30:
mine did the same

xjay1337:
It's not lacquer peeling the whole paint is coming off.
To be as a detailer (not a painter although I have sprayed some stuff) that comes from the paint not being fully bonded to the surface (basically the surface wasn't prepped properly the paint can just be picked off).

The heat from track use might not have helped.
I'd recommend having them powdercoated personally. Around £250 and you get a nice choice of finishes and a strong, durable finish.  :drinking:

Thank you very much for you comments, guys!  :notworthy:

1. I spent about 550 GBP for this set and if I have to spend another 250 GBP on having them powder coated, I would have been better off with some BBS or even OEM wheels.
2. I use the TS's for track only and looks are not very important but I am a little bit frustrated that I spent a lot of money on some wheels that are poor quality.
3. If they decide the warranty includes this defects, that's fine (just like xjay1337, I believe the paint/lacquer were not sprayed correctly and that's why they did not bound). It will show me that they are a serious company that are responsible for their mistakes. If they decide to do nothing, I won't buy any of their wheels again (I have to buy a set of wheels for my other daily drive and I am still considering TDs).
4. The heat only has an effect on this wheels (if that's the problem). I've had BBS and OEM wheels on trackdays (even more than I've had the TDs) and the heat had no effect on them.

I am still waiting for an answer from Team Dynamics...
Any other thoughts are welcomed!

I also have had issues with the lacquer coming off my wheels replica ttrs wheels tried the store where I purchased them less than a year ago but have not heard back basically they are rubber earring me  dunno whit to do about it noo

I got an answer:

...These were purchased on the 06/12/11. Which is nearly 23  months ago, which is well outside the 12 month warranty that we offer on our paint finishes.

Not quite the answer I hoped for...
Maybe I will paint the wheels or maybe I will leave them like this because they are only used on track. But for sure I won't buy any other Team Dynamics wheels!
Even if they are a little bit cheaper than BBS rims (for example) on the long time the BBS ones are much, much better.
Thanks for all your thoughts!  :notworthy:
