Isn't that strictly an Australian thing?

Yes it is Australian and an acquired taste if you did not grow up with it. Most people just spit it right back out and it is rather funny to watch though. My kids love it as we fed it to them since they were babies.

Lol , I've heard about it a few times. So my friend , you're an Aussie? Pretty cool !

 

[Fosscore]

By default. Haha

My wife is from the northern beaches of Sydney. Kids are dual citizens.

it's a global economy.

So one of my wheels started to show some corrosion/defects near the lug nut holes on the face (see close up picture) of one wheel and another wheel lost its center cap.

The center cap gone missing was probably due to when my driver's brake caliper locked up and heated up the wheel, causing the plastic tabs to lose their grip and finally sent it flying off one day.

I contacted Tony (Norcal SS) with a picture of the corrosion and he had Factory Reproductions send me out a new wheel within one week. The new wheel was mounted yesterday and I had the shop take the center cap off the corroded wheel and put it on the missing wheel. The damaged wheel is already on its way back to California.

Hopefully that wheel is just a one off issue. Back to status quo for today.

That does sound like good service. Warranty?

Yes he's treated me right with the drop kit, wheels and this warranty issue. Pretty stoked to get it sorted.
