    Yea it was an option. But, I really think the stock wheels look great black. I'm optimistic about this whole situation....

    Dang dude, I think someone else mentioned lack of prep work and I have to agree. I had these done for $85.00 per wheel.

    *UPDATE* After talking with the supervisor of the store I had my Wheels Powder coated at the other day, he agreed to a full refund; but it wouldn't be until 3/11/2010.
    I called him today, and he pulled a complete 360 from being understanding and cooperative, to accusing me of scratching the wheel myself.

    Did you pay by credit card? If so call your credit card company and put them on notice you want to dispute the charge. They will get with the company and discuss it, most companies want to work directly with you at that point. A charge back adversely affects their business status with credit card companies I had to do that on some VW parts I bought out of Georgia once and the guy decided to only send half the parts, needless to say it worked out in my favor. Good Luck ...

    Thanks, but I already thought of that. The thing is that I used a debit card for a checking account. I did talk to the bank today and they had a way to "dispute the charge" however, the process could take up to 90 days and that's not even guaranteeing money back! I'm calling this ass clown back tomorrow, Saturday, and so on until I'm 100% refunded.... This is a nightmare ...
