Just a heads up. It certainly won't look as bad as it did when you got it but I'd expect some hairline cracks eventually. (sorry)
I expect it to have some just like any filler material does which is why i left it mostly infinished for now. Ill see where it holds and then re-do the wheel. Either way to me it's better than a repop wheel. I got the chance to feel one and you could take the top of the wheel and push it in and out its so flimsy. Even mine won't do thatand its missing half of the main material
