No they are all Axis Hiros. Good call though. I just noticed that you cant see the Axis label on the other 2.

Did you paint them yourself or did you get them painted by a shop? Also, how much and where did you get your Hiros from?

Yes. The one was painted by a so called professional. the color is way off. You can't tell as much by the pic He than wanted me to leave another rim to be matched to the wrong one so the side of the car looked matched. He said that was close enough when they painted it today. And the one that I left him he left in the booth so my tire has overspray. Thank god that I gave him the cracked rim to match ( or try to )

Getting the Hiro that I needed painted was a task. I had to order a Anthrocite from hiro because no one has hypersilver anymore. I am just going to get them all powdercoated black with a silver lip I think now.

Damn that sucks I thought it was obvious that one was a different color. I thought you painted one to see how it would come out but if a professional did it and they were supposed to color match it that sucks the color is way off and you can even tell in the picture. And the best they said they could do is paint one of the others to match so one side would match WOW. I say you go over there looking like your avatar and get it done the right way! Hope your not going to have to pay for this kind of Job and you should worn everyone who to stay away from so it doesn't happen to anyone else.

I was almost there. If I didnt have my kids with me who knows what would of happened. I took the rim off the rack (paint still wet) and threw it back in the box. And left. I wasnt going to pay for that.

Wow... that was supposed to be a color match? I'm surprised he didn't look at that and say, "That's not even close, I can't give it back like this."

They should be redone and on the car by the end of this week. This is what they look like on the car. I am looking to lower it pretty soon also.
