| So i took my wheels over to Wheels America to have the insides painted black as well as the inside of the wheel..so ive been there twice now to pick up my wheels and each time there has either been dust bumps in the powder coat or dips and so now i must wait again for the 3rd time to have them redo them...i know other forum members have brought their wheels there and I dont know if theyve have had the same problem..but i dont wanna take them unless their perfect cause im not gonna drop $600 for a decent job | |

im guessing thats why you didn't come in on saturday. lol. i think tom might have been the only other person on our forum to use wheels america. his looked great when they were done, but there was a ton of powdercoat built up in the lug holes. i had to force the lugs to flatten out the excess powdercoat for them to torque down to the proper specs. i had him drive around town a bit and let me re check the torque again before he hit the highway to make sure all was well. | |

| Ya I'm doing the Superbee Wheels style with the black insides and the inside of the wheel black..(Hen the clear powdercoated the fronts and made the SRT black as well...I talked to the manager today who was gone an vaca and I told him..ive been there 3 times already and each time there's been imperfections and I was told they'll fix them..and that they never called me when my wheels were done I had to call...I said I don't wanna have a bad experience cause I was told you guys did great work so he told me well do them until their perfect and well call you...so I hope now this resolves my issue | |
