Brownstars?? Racestar coating issue

I recently ordered a set of Racestar polished black wheels for our shop car and they came brown. I ordered through AutoMafia racing and have been in contact with them about it. They have been great to work but don't have any margin to do anything with me.

Racestar told them to pound sand so I am looking for someone within RS that I may be able to contact. I know there is another member on this forum that has had similar issues.

Bad business on their part. Hope you find a resolution somehow.

Those look terrible. I would also contact racestar myself and see what they will do. One of them needs to pay for return shipping, replace defective product, or refund your money.

If they won’t, I would run a CC chardgeback as they never delivered you BLACK wheels like you ordered.

I got the chance to call Racestar today and "Sam" who answered the phone was comically horrible. The following was our conversation.

Me - "I purchased black wheels and they are are brown"
Sam - "that is totally normal, some are black, some green and some brown"
Me - "what if they came bright yellow and I ordered black, do you see that as a problem"
Sam - "there is no warranty on our finish"
Me - "So that would be normal and meets your company's expectations"
Sam - "Yes it is part of the finishing process"
Me - "So you are telling me I am stuck with brown wheels when I ordered black?"
Sam - "We cannot do anything"
Me - This will be the last time I will be doing business with your company and cannot express how poorly this has been handled"
Sam - "OK, have a good weekend"

So that concludes my dealings with Racestar, I will smear there reputation as much as possible. I can't remember the last time I have dealt with a company that TRULY does not give two shits about the product or customer satisfaction!!
