Good questions. Still waiting on the refund to show on my credit card so I am a little unsure where this is going.

In a nutshell, the older gentleman who made the offer of the wheels seemed concerned that they simply took my wheels and blasted away. Made a comment they must have had much filler in them, and if they had gently and slowly stripped and found filler, they could have refinished them with a painting process instead. He agreed that the cost of fixing these wheels far exceeded the cost of new wheels. He also agreed that I could not put 5 of the 6 wheels back on my car - they were ruined for my use.

He was not the owner, and I am very concerned the owner can nix the deal that we do have in writing.

This is a large facility - does much more than powder coating. Unfortunately my wheels were done on second shift. The powder coating supervisor was "disgusted" by my wheels and we agreed he would redo the new wheels himself.

Again - keeping vague until resolution. I truly hope to be in a position where I can post that this turned out well for me.
