The person who did it claimed that he has been in the powder coating business for years and never had a customer with an issue like mine. Basically, after my rims got powder coated, they lost their integrity and warped. Had them 'fix' just to warp again within a week

@ OP: Rims look nice. Hope they hold up.
Powdercoater did say same o me but added that with all of the 100's sets wheels he has done it has only happened twice. so thought risk was minimal. In my opinion it was well worth it
