I just bought a brand new set of speedlines and one of them has a slight mark around the rim. Its not big but there new wheels and it shouldnt be there. Should I send it back?

it was probably done whilst fitting the tyres or something, i don't think that you could take them back tbh.

there normally really good at wheel base. i lost a centre cap sticker many times, and then allways send me two replacements FOC. usually they cost a tenner each !!
phone then, and tell them your not 100% happy, and send them back

Can't believe people are saying because its barely noticable its fine. They are supposed to be brand new, no marks no scuffs. Probably got marked fitting tyres, but your more than in your rights to demand a replacement.

Why should'nt he steve, if you bought a tshirt with a small rip in it would you keep it or take it back? I'd send it back if I ordered brand new wheels.
