It's fixable. You just have to sand it down and paint it. I'm done with Vossen wheels, I sold them and bought Niche instead. I recommend TSW, Niche, HRE, Rays, Velgen, ADV.1, Bayern, and Asanti.

I might be as well. Looking at other options. I really do like Niche was thinking of giving them a try.
Also do you know what the difference between a mono block and a flow form is? i saw that flow form is stronger but i dont see niche offer any.

Probably can be fixed. If not buy another wheel and keep that one for a spare, or use it to hang your air compressor hose/garden hose on.

The quality and fitment is great and the weight is reasonable 4-5lbs lighter than stock on the 19s VMB5 I got. Slightly pricier than the other brands mentioned but you pay for quality . VMB7 are dope!!!

Wait 2 weeks and it'll be covered in dust. Wait a year and you'll be so tired of trying to keep the wheels clean -- you'll give up and leave them dirty and scratches covered. Oh and Lexus gray touch up matches the OEM rims real close. Maybe the same here?
