WHOOPS! Not so fast. I was going to polish them up before the install and discovered this on the inside of 1 rim. Some sort of patch. Unacceptable. I emailed Corvettes of Houston about it and was given an 800 number to call. Too late today to call. I'll see how they handle it. Would you accept this? I know it's not thier fault.
