I think I see the problem here. Forgestar wheels are usually no better than "10-footers" even when new.

Google 'forgestar quality issues' and you will get many hits on many forums.

Are you sure these wheels were ever refinished? It seems like the dude gave a REALLY squirrely answer here:

I don't even know what the hell he means by that. But I do know that the quality of Forgestar finishes are generally "average to poor" with some pretty glaring quality control issues. I'm not convinced the poor finish shown in your photos is anything but typical Forgestar quality.

(sorry, some of these may be huge)
