got my rims after 8 month

i ordered rims from a local shop 8-20-2004. i ordered the racing hart cx in gold w/ measurements of 19x9 1/2 rears and 19 x 9 fronts well i ve been bugging them for months now and all they kept telling me was there was no ETA on them yet. this week i basically told them that i have a shoot and a show to do and i need the soon, or i get my money back. i talked to other shops i close to and the said that they sold them WAAAAY below cost thats why its talking too long. and friday i come tho the shop they have em . it wasnt exactly what i ordered but i finally gotem. It will still get POWDER COATED in GOLD. but right now heres the pics of silver cx without tire of course. fresh off the box.

they been pushing me to get this one color for a while now. because they said itll come quicker. so they ended up paying more for this one because the new fitment is 19x9 front and 19x10 rears hahaha so i thought it was a good trade for the color....

Powercoating is very bad for aluminum wheels (Are they aluminum?).

The heat makes the aluminum fragile, and they can fracture.
