Wayne thank you for this venue, and i speak on my own behalf on this matter, unless Wayne or the moderator agree and lock this and delete this post.

I am confused by the above posting. I never intended to endorse or promote a competitor to Pelican Parts. I was simply trying to find out if anyone had experience with an organization that I was considering purchasing USED parts from, parts that I do not believe Pelican sells.

My objectives were: 1- determine if it was a reputable organization (before I gave them $1,000+) & 2: determine if the paint on their refinished USED Fuchs wheels would meet my expectations.

That's it. From the comments it is doubtful that I will purchase from them, if for no other reason than I am still not comfortable that the wheels will be acceptable to me. I would rather buy used wheels & have them refinished by someone I know (by reputation) will do an acceptable job (Wheel Enhancement, Wiedman's, Al Reed).

Thanks to all who replied, & I apologize -- especially to Wayne -- if my posting was somehow inappropriate.
