    Shout out to Vuth and SCS…purchased a set of blem 16x8 matte black BR6s, I was a little reticent after ordering as I’m pretty picky and perhaps I should’ve gone with A grade wheels instead. Picked them up yesterday and immediately inspected them and I’m hard pressed to find *any* flaws that would classify them as blems. Super stoked to get them on my truck….thanks SCS!

    - ICON UCAs, BP51/Kings, SCS wheels, 285s, Leer 100XR canopy. Greenlane aluminum winch bumper, Smittybilt X20 winch. Trying Falken AT3w now, Really like BF KO2s.
    I picked up a Blem for my spare and it looks good to me, seems near perfect. SCS wheels are awesome!

    Don't worry, In time they will Blem themselves lol. My 5-year old ray 10s have corrosion on the fake bolts and then paint is starting to bubble up in some spots.

    Hmmmm...I suspect even sooner with Winter driving/salted roads. Although I guess that they can always be re-powdercoated.

    Can you show the blems?

    I’ve bought Chinese knockoff wheels before with blemishes, and they weren’t too hard to find.

    This almost looks like an ad promising you the wheels will be so perfect that you can’t tell.

    Wonder what they consider blemishes? Those look perfect.
