I would've asked for them back, take them to any automotive paint shop and had it done for less then $100. You got ripped again.

It's black paint. All they need to do is mask whatever up and paint it. Did I mention... they don't clear over chrome. Why? Because over time the clear turns yellow or some ish. After all... the black paint is peeling and not the chrome or any "clear" right?

Trust me... I know ALL about 3 piece wheels and how its made from the start to finish. I've been around it for some time now.

Thats right you live in Florida people work down there for about half of what they do up here so your probrably right it would cost me about 150 per wheel to get painted not including breaking the wheel down mounting and rebalancing the wheel, and yes you are right they don t clear over the wheel im pretty familar with the process myself. Im still not done working the details out with the shop yet but I still need the wheels repainted so I can try to sell the pieces of ****!

I'm not too familiarize with the powdering process but the cooking/curing process requires heat which can react and maybe turn the chrome colors.

... work for half the price? Doubt it, we probably do it for the same if not more, but we move in volume and that's why some of us can ball out.

anyways, i'll let you continue with your bizz cause it seems like you like to be right all the time and its pointless to argue or talk to someone like that. enjoy your asantis buddy.

Look slim Im not trying argue with none of you dudes anymore the bottom line is I don t give a **** what you do or how much volume you move Im simply talkin about how I made a poor decision in wheels and how these events have transpired. Im not sure how its all going to work out in the end but to be honest It makes me want to hurt people. All I wanted was to rock a set of crazy wheels on my ride that I didn t have to worry about seeing to many people with and it has backfired on me! As far as enjoying them I would have, had the paint stayed on them!
