Axis og oldskool clear coat on lip peeling??
Well this is my second set I've owned that's done it. First time I just figured it was a defect. Sold the wheels took a loss. I recently acquired another set, and one wheel randomly started to do it again. Axis claims it's a "protective film" after months it chips away to keep the wheel clean.. Yeah bullshit. What options do I have here? Chip it all off and try to re clear it? I'm afraid the elements will ruin the material without it. What causes this? Am I alone?

Use a paint stripper and then get them re-cleared or powdercoated with a clear powdercoat. Or buy some higher quality wheels.
Those are the two options though; you can either buy wheels with a higher quality finish, or make them have a higher quality finish. |

yeah, you would think for almost 200 a wheel they wouldnt do that.

I got a set of sparco assetto gara's in a trade earlier this week. I know they are priced at $171 each, cheap I know, but they are made by OZ Racing. Since you are an engineer and technical genius, do you think they hold the same quality as other products of the OZ line, or would it be less price, less quality? I feel you have more knowledge than me about things like this. |

That's pretty hard to judge, especially because they're made by one brand and sold by another and you don't know what the manufacturing cost is. You can assume that they're most likely a cast wheel, and OZ probably doesn't have many different casting processes so they're probably pretty similar to OZ wheels in the same price range. The big contributors to price are R&D cost recovery (spread over the entire production run), branding/advertising/marketing, tooling cost, alloy/amount of aluminum, production quantity, etc. So if you have two wheels that are the same manufacturing method, have a similar design (so the tooling cost is similar), weigh about the same, cost roughly the same, and are both sold in high quantity, you can safely assume that they have the same quality. That is all. |
