That's awesome that Perry went above and beyond with his customer service even though it's not his fault the wheels are later than quoted. Sadly you just don't see this level of customer service anymore. Big ups to Perry!

And nice steering wheel Al!

Will they (BS) do steering wheels with the powder coated spokes like my wheels?
