MFW wheel refinisher starts throwing excuses at me why they are the wrong color, why the hubs were coated when they were hub centric, and why they didnt fix the very few knicks and curbing the wheels did have, so he doesnt have to refund me:
Edit: lol now he wont refund me cause I had tires put on one to try and get them mounted and deal with it for now, only for the hubs to be painted like 2mm thick.
Ripperoni in pepperoni, time to save money to have skipps fix them.Last edited by Wschnitz; 05-06-2015, 10:17 AM.1989 BMW 325is | 2019 Ford Ranger FX4willschnitz

I was going to consider them to have one of my ronals straightened, but Ill pass now.
Wheel refinishing at home isnt even that hard, just time consuming. All you need is assorted snadpaper, a coarse file, and a fine file. Wheel bends should be left to a professional. If you want it done right try to do it yourself.
I assume those are powdercoated Will? Why didnt you just paint them with Wurth paint, or similar at home? Cant powdercoat center caps on most wheels, and paint is much easier to repair.

Honestly I could do a better job then this guy did, honestly take your stuff to skipps. Fuck this guy and everything about him, never calls you, never lets you know about anything, didnt even show me samples of paint, fuck it all.

Edit: I've had Skip refinish/straighten wheels. He's awesome. His work and the way he does business is old school.Last edited by ajhostetter; 05-06-2015, 12:14 PM.sigpic

They don't remove it, they just make it an unverified review and it won't show on the main page, you have to search to find it.
