    I had a bad experience with U.s. wheels.They took way longer than they promised.They refused to remount my tires after promising to when i dropped them off.A huge headache for me.The work was pretty good though.I know Kim likes them a lot.

    I've never had a problem with them. They are always a little slow, but they do phenomenal work. I don't know why they wouldn't mount tires for Joe. Hell, they're the only ones I trust to mount tires on my ltw's.

    I've used US wheel a few times for re-finishing and bends...good prices, not the best quality re-finish in the world but you pay for what you get. I will be taking my BBS RKII's to get re-done before I mount them.

    It is all included in the price. For multiple piece wheels, it obviously costs more.

    paint.

    Some types/grades of metal have issues when you bake them hot enough to powdercoat and end up weakened, there's no real advantage over painting to justify the different process in my opinion.

    He will powdercoat them if you want, but I believe he sends them to someone for that.
