I recently purchased a set of the gold Sportmax 501s and 3 of the 4 wheels have defects. The bolts that go around the wheel that make it look like a 2 piece rim were drilled to deep and "pop" out the back, this is causing the powdercoat to "flake" up where they come through. Just curious if anyone else has this problem.

 

There is a 1 year warranty on them. You should look on having them replaced. I have had mine since January but haven't mounted them yet.

 

damn i just got my gold 501's yesterday , i only looked at one of them. Can you post up some pics so we no what exactly to look at. Thanks for the info.

 

Here is a picture of the defect on the wheels. I have contacted Next Level and they said they are looking into it. I have not heard anything back yet (fingers crossed)




The photo doesn't do it justice but I am worried that it wll cause more problems down the road as bare metal is exposed under the flakes.

 

Thats where I got my 501's from. His customer service is awesome. You shouldn't have a problem with that.

I also looked at 1 of them maybe I should go look at the other 3

 

This is on the back of the wheel, right? Do you think I would have any problems with the silver wheels because they aren't painted even if they would have this defect on them? Thanks.

 

i checked mine out and they arent like that. Good luck and keep us posted.
