no, no issues at all. pefectly sharp edges on all the fins. & to clarify, the silver pockets on mine were powder color & clear, they color & clear the entire rim then machined off the aluminum faces i wanted no clear on. that is how these companies do the rims, you cant really do a sharp edge like on these wheels with powders, too many edges & countours to mask them off & powder isnt applied like a paint to allow for that type of masking. the place that did mine had no issues with doing no clear, in fact i recall it was a standard option to have clear or no clear.
personally, i would be asking that place to make them right for the quoted price, or just cut your losses & walk away. use them as is since it doesnt look
that bad, or sell them on ebay & mention the minor issue with the clear... then find a new/used set & use a different company. or step up to 15x8's & buy the new repro ones, they are fully cleared but as i mentioned earlier, they look very nice & dont cost much more than what you pay to restore originals.
