Reply to "Question for those with Coddington/American Republic Wheels"

Freshman fail has the been the name of the game with this order. I honestly can't recommend them. They make a well priced 18" wheel, but it comes with some drawbacks.

My biggest heartburn is that they shipped 3 17" wheels and 1 18" wheel rather than my actual order of 17s and 18s. They also shipped the wheels 10 days after their promised ship date. In their defense I only gave them 3 weeks notice and wheels typically take 4-6 weeks, but the first rule in business is the under promise and over deliver vice over promise and under deliver. If you can't meet the deadline, tell your customer early.

I have some ideas for center cap solutions

1. Have the DeTomaso Logo engraved on the polished caps
2. Have the polished caps machined to accept the colored logo, then glue it to the aluminum centercap.
3. Flip the centercap around and glue the logo to the back and polish the lip.

Where would I start to find someone who can engrave or machine aluminum? Machine shop?
