Fading on New ADD Black Wheels....

[BSP10]

ADD is usually a PITA to deal with when it comes to issues. They are in denial about bad finishes on their bumpers. Good luck.

That was the first thing that came to mind when I noticed. Immediate flash back to all the posts about the bumper issues.

I have not as I thought they were just dirty until I saw your pics. I will reach out to Nick as I got them from him and see what he suggests. He is always great to deal with and can tell me what to do.

I will take some pics and post them later for you to see.

Definitely a finish defect. I've seen faded powder coat but it usually takes years. Their warranty should be a least a year (industry standard except Method does 2 years). Hopefully they can get you guys handled in a quick and timely matter.

Good point. Gotta go boltless or pay the extra for black or stainless.

Be sure to contact the manufacturer ASAP. Wheel companies are terrible to work with. Being only 5 months old they won't have much wiggle room to blame you the owner for defects.

Here are what my wheels look like. I need to double check but think I got them in Nov 2020.

Yep looks to be the same issue. ADD said they would sent new rings out to fix the issue. However they won't have them for about 90days. Does your issue go beyond the rings? I can't tell from the pictures. Mine seems to just be the rings at this point.

One temporary "solution" is in fact the tire dressing. It doesnt solve the problem at all, but at least it will make the wheels look normal until ADD is able to fix the issue.

Did you talk to Nick yet?

Agree seems to just be the rings and bolts. The wheels look fine and have the better color.
No I haven’t not reached out. Wanted tog et pics up so you could see and I will reach out today to him.
New rings seems like an easy fix.

Yeah. ADD is aware of my issue and they were quick to fix it. just have to wait until the rings are back to them which is about 90days according to them. It was actually pretty simple. No push back at all. especially since you have the pics and they have seen mine as well.
