[DML] Doing the sums on Don Steger's chrome wheels.

[dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Robert,

I don't see how you have spent $1800.

You spent $1700 initially, of which you get $800 back. So you've 
spent $900. Then add the cost of shipping and switching your tires, 
and you have spent another $100, so $1000 in total.

You say that you are losing out on a set of wheels worth $800, and so 
add this onto how much money you are out, which doesn't make sense! 
You are forgetting you are getting another set of wheels back (worth 
at least $800). The value of the newly refurbished wheels should 
easily surpass the value of the original wheels that probably had 
peeling paint and scuffs, so these cancel each other out. The most 
you are out is $1000.

Sorry, but I don't think its fair to Don Steger to say that you 
got "hosed" on this deal. Don doesn't post here, so cannot defend 
himself. I've heard nothing but good things about him and his 
company, and if I was living in CA he would definitely be my choice 
of shop to work on my car. $1000 sounds like a great deal to me for 
this upgrade.

Can you please post pictures somewhere where we can see the wheels?

Thanks,
Best wishes,
John Dore, Ireland.
