from the pics he took of the wheels you cannot see what is really wrong...the lips are 100% perfect, the spray paint is just chipping off...all it needs to be done is repainted

none of the wheels are damaged in any way shape or form, the only damage is to the paint...which I indicated clearly on the original post that they needed to be repainted...very easy case

THERE IS NOT ONE MILLIMETER OF RASH ON THESE WELLS WHATSOEVER

the lips were professionally sanded for me before i spraypainted them...what you see is the metal coming from under the paint chipping off...what is expected from spraypaint...the wheels are in 100% perfect condition besides for the paint..that was originally mentioned...in my original pics you can even see the paint starting to come off the lips on the edges if you look closely...now put that already chipping paint on a tire machine what do you expect to happen...I CLEARLY INDICATED YOU NEED TO REPAINT THESE WHEELS...and that is clearly what they do need...but that is all! nothing more than a new paint job...they are not damaged in any single way.

look by the snapple bottle..you can see the paint is elevated and ready to peal off...I SAID CLEARLY THEY WERE SPRAYPAINTED....I SAID CLEARLY THEY NEED TO BE REPAINTED...what is there even to argue...i do not understand?

what more do these wheels need than a new paint job?

OP post better pics

To me, it doesn't matter if that happened during tire dismounting, it could've been shipped in perfect condition but handling during the shipping process could further damage the wheels anyway. So just by looking at the packaging is what ticks me, you probably sent them in "perfect" condition but they now probably have gouges and rashes to add to the chipped paint because of the shipping process and lack of protective packaging. What's bubble wrap gonna do to protect a wheel?

This is the statement that made me not buy them. He clearly stated they would need to be repainted. Packaging was terribad but as long as the rim is not damaged and it is just paint chipping and paint residue left of the wheel it wouldn't look like he is responsible. I have no clue who either of these guys are and have myself been ripped really bad from false advertisement and poor shipping... However this does not seem to be either. I know I am gonna get flamed for this too.

why would i give you money to repaint your wheels when i clearly stated you needed to do that in the first place...

if you did not want to repaint them...why did you buy them???

and the buyer requested for me to dismount the tires...therefore causing the paint to chip off like crazy...

as for needing any repair...NO WAY..there is no rash anywhere


as for shipping in bubble wrap...only one wheel was shipped like that...the others were packaged in cardboard...

as for bubble wrap holding up...i have a local powdercoater that does only wheels every day in and out...he tells his customers to ship him the wheels in bubble wrap because they will be sanded down anyway to be repainted...common for wheels that need to be repainted...whats the point of protecting the finish if its going to come off anyway....the wheels have no rash, no dents, absolutely nothing more is needed than a paint job...thank you
