Can you see what I’m referring to? It’s more noticeable “live”

Don't see any paint chips, looks like it was cast that way but I looked at some pix online and don't see that problem on any of the three I looked at.

PICS - I see it, Phil. The radius in the wheel curvature is not uniform.
It clearly has an abrupt interruption in the curvature and doesn't look right at all. I'd send it back.
For comparison, I cleaned it up a bit using Photoshop.

It looks like an overaggressive chasing of the casting. Return it....
The model is too damned expensive to live with that.

Your point is valid. Fender's curve is not uniform..
You know, this is not first time CMC is disappointing. Earlier they had crafted 911, which was not uniform at the back.. therefore they sold their whole lot in discounted prices.. they must have QC department..

911 issue is about 6 years old... Many members here must be familiar to this

Well I’m not at all familiar. So can you explain it’s short comings ?
