Morning all...was wondering if anyone can help with this, I have another issue with all 4 wheels as in there is very little paint on the barrels behind the spokes, it looks like the areas have been missed during painting behind every spoke on every wheel.

Here are a couple of images

I was wondering if anyone with the same 18inch n-connecta alloys would mind having a quick look to see if yours are the same, if you could that would great.

Here is the wheel type.

Thanks

Andy, we have the Tekna + which has the 19" WIND CHROME DIAMOND CUT DARK GREY Alloy Wheels. The Front of the Wheel is “Gloss” but the Rears appear to be “Matt” just as a protection, I suppose it does make sense as who looks at the back of a Wheel and obviously saves an extra paint process ! - Dave 😏

I think this "problem" is not unusual

I look at the back of the wheels, Dave 😊

The problem is that you can clearly see the missing paint from the front and that is just a poor effort if this is how they all are from the factory.

If you were having your wheels refurbished then this would not be acceptable.

Hoping people with the same wheels will have a quick look to see if they are the same so when I raise the point at the dealership I'm not going in blind.
