compiled a brief timeline of my ****...sound ok?
Day 1, June 8th Wheels ordered
Week 2 Told that the wheels have been finished, just need bolt holes drilled and pinstripes done
Week 3 Told that the wheels had defects and they had to send them back to be re-finished
Week 6 Told the new system us up and running, and the delays should stop. New shipping date is scheduled for July 30th(a week later) but they are hoping to be done sooner
Week 7 Told the wheels won't ship on time, they are just now scheduling the pinstriper to come in
Week 8 Told the wheels should be finished today, pinstriped tomorrow, shipped the day after
Week 9 Told the wheels still arne't back from powdercoating, they were avoiding talking to my dealer to even tell him this
Week 9 Told the powdercoater is the problem, and they are now supposed to be powdercoated by August 17th (a few days later)
Week 10 New story, was told that the piano black finish was back-ordered and everything up to this point has been wrong. They instead got some titanium wheels and are going to strip that finish and powdercoat them in a gloss black.
Week 11 Wheels went to the powdercoater, and got sent back saying they weren't stripped enough. Wheels went back to the powdercoater and should be done, pinstriped, and shipped by August 25th.
Week 12 August 26th rolls around and I am told that 3 wheels are done, 1 had a "defect" in the finish so had to go back and get re-powdercoated. This is after a forgestar rep told me that multiple powdercoating heating cycles can cause issues with the structrual integrity of the wheel. They are "thinking" it should be back and finished by friday or monday (31st)
