Anyone else here have any wheels that were purchased from AFS and have a problem with their paint? I have the silver finish Cobra Rs that I bought off a guy in IL who said they were new, for $625. The wheels have bubbles, pits, and other types of imperfections all over them. I can't imagine that the guy would have curbed all 4, and had them all repainted at the same time, so I assume this is the way they came from the factory. I'm guessing that he purchased them new, saw how crappy they were, and wasn't able to send them back.

Needless to say, I was a bit surprised because their advertisements in 5.0/SuperFord and MMFF are so adamant about being "quality OEM reproductions". I'd like to call them up just to say how disappointed I am in their workmanship, even though I doubt I can claim anything since I did not buy the set directly from them. Was this just a fluke set, or have any of you had a similar experience?
