Those rears look really hammered. Did the dealer do that or is that how they came?

The rims cames faded, but my dealer's mechanic was the one the beat the heck out of them. It is as though he beat the tire off the rim with a hammer!

...because I bought the rims from a dealer online in AK, of which I received (2) left rears. My dealer said he doesn't feel responsible for a mistake another dealer made. In my opinion, I think he was a tad bit upset I went to another dealer in the first place.
I did contact the dealer in AK and he said he would make good on the rims, but I would have to ship him the old set, which would require me to unload the CC and pay the shipping cost. It wasn't worth the hassle and aggrevation. With that, he gave me a credit to purchase anything else I wanted up to the value of the rims.

I know this is all water under the bridge at this point but the dealer that beat the &$^# out of the rims should have replaced them whether or not you bought them from another dealer. I used to know how to use a tire machine and there is no excuse for beating the **** out of the rim like that. If he charged you for it then abusing the customer's property is not something you can usually come up with an excuse for.
As far as the fading that might be normal - when I got my BX23 from the dealer both of the back rims were faded the same way. The fronts looked fine. I was going to complain about it but I had seen other BX's with this same problem so I figured they were all like this. Kubota ought to complain to their rim manufacturer that their paint stinks but that was a battle I didn't have the time to start when I got the tractor.

That's too bad it worked out the way it did, but at least you got what you wanted in the end.
I've had BX tires changed in the past with limited success. The steel is very weak. Ever wonder why the price of a tire alone is within a few dollars of a wheel/tire set from your dealer????
