    So I was looking into wheel spacers and I naturally went to Spidertrax because they are pretty much the best when it comes to them. I was looking at the ones I was going to buy and I noticed they were out of stock...bummer.. So I decided to look around the site and I noticed they had a "Outlet" so I went in. They have the spacers I need but they are Blemished.. this is taken from their site:

    SPECIAL NOTE: This product is sold with cosmetic blemishes. This cosmetic blemish in no way affects the safety or performance of its intended application. Common examples of cosmetic blemishes may include, but are not limited to, discolorations or surface defects that exceed our standard tolerances. The full Spidertrax 30 day money back guarantee and limited lifetime warranty are still honored with this blemished product.

    So what Im asking in the longest way possible is if anyone has experience with a product like this "blemished". Thanks guys!
    Swanny.

    they are aluminum. when aluminum corrodes it actually becomes stronger kind of.. my BORA's have a little bit of blemish. like they said its cosmetic. I'm sure they would still give you the warranty (lifetime?)

    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    If they are anodized, the coloring could be "off color"...or a nick in the aliuminum.

    Cosmetic blemishes on something you only really see when you don't have your wheels on?

    Who gives a shit.

    What's the price difference? In my experience (not wheel spacers) blemished typically means a misprint of a logo or maybe paint chipping, usually something along those lines. If it said "defective" then that would be another story but "blemished" should be no issue with the use and safety of the product.
