It would be nice to know what the difference was between your two shops. My guy didn't mention that this could be a possibility until AFTER it happened, then it was "oh, yeah this is really common" Why the "F" didn't he say that to begin with. When I get the blasted rims back (no pun intended) I'll take them to one more powder coater and specifically ask if they can ovoid this condition. I'm not the expert here I'm relying on them to let me know what the possibilities are for a really good finish. Buyer beware I guess. On a better note I have my tire size picked as 255/85-16 for about 33 dia. Probably go with Cooper Maxx.
