    Has anyone attempted to color match paint for these wheels? I have a few chips (from Discount Tire techs tool marks, unfortunately) that I'd like to fix. The manufacturer doesn't seem to have clear contact info for customers on their website.

    Thanks. Maybe a DT rep will respond here. But, I've tried to get help from two separate retail locations with no real success. Associates say it's a manufacturer defect, which I doubt. I'm not really mad about it, overall I've had great experiences with DT over many years.

    According to DT retail, Level 8 response is to send each wheel individually for inspection with a 6-8 week window for each wheel. Which means I could be rolling with a spare for up to 32 weeks. So basically...yeah, I'll just touch them up if possible.

    Yeah I'm in agreement touching up is the easiest way to go. I tagged them in hopes they'll have a good touch up paint recommendation.

    I never got any feedback on the touchup paint. Wish I had better info...sorry.

    I can say that the @Discount Tire team took GREAT care of me. Can't speak highly enough of their service and ethics. If you aren't a customer, you should be.

    Best wishes, bro.
