I have to go and get my $$$ back from Pat tomorrow - he's cutting me a check. It's much harder to get money back once it's been paid, so if you haven't paid yet, check your rims really good before forking over your money. Did you get them powder coated??? Painted??? Do me a favor and don't mention this post, or that you saw my rims until AFTER I get my money back. I don't want to piss him off and then get screwed! After I get my money tomorrow, by all means, reference my rims if yours end up being poorly done and he gives you a hard time.
Best of luck to you man...I wouldn't wish the hassle I went through on anybody!!!
