I wouldn't sell them as-is, I don't want someone else unhappy with them.

Tires I'd end up having to sell since I want those Vossens and they are 20"
i doubt they would pay for you to powdercoat.... really doubting it....

i really think you should take's Lou's offer and refund those FuglyStars at once.......... better not wait or they will not accept it back at all.....

Thats prolly why they had to wait so long... They made 3 then they pissed off the pinstriper, so he said screw you guys, and they were stallin while they tried to find a new pinstriper. To no avail they decided to try fixing the one wheel, and one of them attempted to do it himself, but having no clue how, you see the end result...
