I wish the JL one for the 550 had the fins, then I would certainly get it.

I am incredibly unlikely to buy from ACG ever again...
Looks good from here. I think in a week or so, you won't even notice or think about the gap anymore... at least that is what ACG is hoping for

From what I've seen and read, refurb. Never seen a complaint on this site or the other sites he's on. Does great work, just a bit slow on communication. As soon as mine arrive, I'll get the pix up

pre-warning... i got rivets

I had your same concerns as well, but he replaces the barrells, strips down the center completely to check for damage. Also, i couldnt find a complaint on any board regarding quality of the product.

He seems like a stand-up guy, so in my opinion, if he puts out a good end-item, why give the money to some large company when I could give it to a hard working dude that we have here on the boards.

If i get bit, which i doubt, well... it will be a lesson learned

It has taken some extra time, more than i expected. But I did have customer mercedes centers made, and im getting a complete wheel/tpms/tire package.

Im a patient person, as long as i get what i want, with the quality i expect, im okay with it
