Nightmare Before Thanksgiving

[Orange Crate]

I spent a couple of years looking at wheels to try to decide which direction to go on my 72 build. I decided after all that to go with steel Accuride wheels from a F(T)urd van. First pic as unloaded in the garage. Second pic is the first attempt to have them powder coated. I dropped these off for powder coat in July and I still don't have them back. I went to look at them in Sept and if you zoom in on the second pic you can see the crap job at the joints. All five wheels looked the same so I asked the powder coater to redo them AND they looked exactly the same last month after "burning" them and chemical dipping them (not sure what chemical). I think it is November now.....what a nightmare. I told the guy I would pay for the sand blasting but not for anything else if he burned them again and sand blasted them and he agreed, but he hasn't called to say they are ready....... I guess I'll have to have them painted. Anyone else have steel wheels powder coated?
