Based on everything I'm hearing and seeing, I've decided to re-coat the wheels, the issue is weather I take them back to the original coater, or try someone new.
If I try someone new, I'm going to see if I can get my money back for the 1 wheel that was bad or possibly all of them, since the prep comes in to question.

I'm also going to do another color, I'm not liking how it matches with the PG.
I really like the Advan RS Gunmetal, or I'll just go with Black, maybe a 20% or 30% gloss, sort of a matt satin finish. I'm leaning toward the Advan gunmetal, just because my other car already is a graphite with black wheels.
I wanted something a little different, plus I don't like how the black wheels blend with the car when it's dark, during the day I think they look great.

Any thoughts?? Here is a quick photoshop, in the first pic you can see the rear wheels are the current color and I just put up a poll for black or gunmetal, this is a tuff one. (please vote :-)
