Message	at their showroom...those didn't look bad at all. I even saw a rim that was really messed up cosmetically...and they did an excellent job restoring it. I have no doubt they are competent wheel repair/refurb specialists. I just don't think their powder coating is on the level. If you're getting rims refinished, hopefully they'll do a quality job. The odds should be in your favor here...I hope.
