I wonder if them chemically stripped the wheels or abrasive blasted them?
Did you hand deliver and pick them up, or if they were shipped, how did you go about packaging?

100% better! Wow. Even the glossy inside is cool and will be easier to keep the pounds of brake dust off the rim that ususally accumulate. Nice job abd good find, Chuck. Also, thansk for sharing the contact. I too will be giving them a call to do a set of track rims when they come in.

The most important thing to any paint job is the preparation prior to it and that is what concerns me with any re-finisher.

I hand carried them it. However, I have packaged and shipped a lot of wheels. The easiest way is to get wheel boxes from a tire/wheel shop. The seller I bought these from got the boxes from FedEx and shipped the fronts in one box and the rear each in there own box. He padded them well and there were no issues.

How dust-free was the wheel finish? Even in areas not that visible such as the lug nut wells and back sides of the wheel. Any imperfections?

Chuck, Just as an fyi for down the road. If you don't clean off the center of wheel (mounting surface) down to aluminum you might have paint transfer to the brake disc and when you remove and then bolt up the wheel again you may create some runout.

I mistakenly saw this as freshly powder coated wheels for sale for $400! I was ready to drive over to your house Chuck after a stop at the bank.
They look great, BTW.
