I know a lot of you here rate and buy Compomotives but here's a thread on Seatcupra.net that might change your mind.

Not meant to scare you all away or shock you in anyway,just trying to caution those that may be thinking of buying from them.

If i was him i would spend less time taking pictures of his fucked wheels and more time getting them reconditioned, for all of £150-200 hardly worth the trouble he's going to...

just to sorta prove a point

this was an old wheel, never been refurbed - ignore the ermm buckle - but even then the tiniest bit of paint came off considering it was quite big bang ..

I've seen another set do it - but tbh if you keep an eye on them like any enthuisiast would do, which he clearly hasn't, then nothing a touch up pen or even tip-ex wouldn't sort and keep the problem at bay

Mine are fine!

You have to remember with any company that sells items in vast quantity you are never going to please every single customer and allthough 99.9% of the happy customers dont show there gratitude to the company that 0.1% will always make there feeling publically know about the said company
