I wouldnt give them a choice but to return them with a full CASH refund. Make sure they don't pull no credit BS. I would return them, even if they could be OK. I would just return them and get a new set just for the piece of mind.

As for going from 3.08's to 3.55's.... no comment

I would do whatever I could to get the money back. Especially if they sold you a defected item! Even if you didnt really want to take them back I would just to see if you could get away with it

No question, take them back. I don't care what it said on the slip, a defective item should not be sold to a consumer, PERIOD! Point out the chips, find the guy at the shop that saw the defects when you bought them originally, and if they will not give you money back, tell them that you would like store credit so that you can buy a new set of NAME BRAND gears.

ORIGINAL: crazijames

I went from 3.08 to 3.55's and I love them I shaved almoust 4tenths off. *** for the pics they dont look so bad, but if there is decent size chips or peices missing I would be very carefull, I personally wouldnt use them if they had iny flaws!
not trying to dogg you or anything but were you running consistant in the 1/4 with that 4/10 cut off estiment? cuz ive had people tell me they've done this and that and it did this to them in the 1/4 but then later i do what they did and find out it didnt help me out much. and i talk to them or thier friend and i find out they didnt run consistant 1/4. again... not trying to disrespect. just curious cuz if 355's will cut off 4/10 of a 1/4 hahaha thats my next mod!!
