I'm sure that's one way to do it, but I mean, just seeing/hearing them wail at the wheel made my heart drop. I'd rather pay more to have it done right/less ghetto.

Not the end of the world but I'm trying to figure out if I would be able to avoid it or not considering I love my Hyper Bronze finish. Thanks for the reply.

Honestly, I don't know what they used or how they did it. They took the wheel off and went to the back while I was in the waiting room. I didn't hear any banging though LOL. It's possible they used a machine, but again, not too sure. They told me right off the bat that the powdercoat will not be there once they fixed the rim. I'm not sure about your Volks though but I'd say get the rim fixed first and worry about the looks afterwards.
