So I was super happy when I got the call that my spokes and wheel were ready to be picked up today. Get there and from initial inspection they look great, get home and damn near raged in the garage. The wheel has multiple rough spots in both sides like they guy blasted it after coating and baking. Then half of the spokes don't even match each other.

So in my rage I called them and let them know how unhappy I was and their response "Oh that's odd, we can refund your money." Damn straight you are!!! I'm heading over the pond soon and now looks like I won't get to ride at all this summer since I have less than 2 months left. That's it, I'm goin to The Powder Pro Joe.

Here is the wheel...lots of spots like this around the wheel


Back side of wheel

 

Damn that sucks man. Sorry to hear. At least you're getting a refund. Hopefully Joe can get you squared away with some time left to ride.

 

Its tough to get powder off to redo and may cost more than a rim. Contact another shop on how much it will cost before you get a refund. May want a bit extra to fix it.

 

The powder coater could probably redust that area and bake it again and it might lay out .

 

Probably but the fact they didn't seem to care makes me irritated and not going to use them again. Plus all the spokes are a shade off or super dark when they aren't supposed to be. Got to love living in small towns but at least I'm close to Sacramento and have a guy in going to talk to either tomorrow or next week

 

If I were you I'd have them fix it...
