Message	I just couldn't believe Jeff, with all his experience, let those rims leave his shop looking that way. Especially after he assured me he would personally oversee the job to ensure my satisfaction. He definatley seemed to have pride in his work...even going so far as to say, "go ahead and take them to someone else - and watch them get ruined." Unfortunately, all I have to go on is my own experience. If you've had positive experience w/ them...and are on friendly terms w/ them...that makes me that much more frustrated. I know you wouldn't associate with shady business people, so I must have been a statistical anomaly. Murphy's Law lately. Thanks for the vote of confidence Scott...I'm hoping they look great too :-)
