Yes I've had a few offers for 2-3 seperate payments to hold them. Would rather sell outright, but whatever gets them moved, works for me. I never personally drove on them, just installed them, don't even have wheels for my car right now, lol. I've read good reviews about them, even some track use, although if I was going to track the car I would probably use something a little more track oriented like Brembo or StopTech. For around town use and show factor, these are great.

So my transaction with DPE G and his wheels went flawless, just as advertised. So I figured same with his Alliance brake kit he had listed for sale, boy how WRONG I was.
First off the way it was packaged was terrible for heavy items.
For a 100lbs worth of rotors, they were wrapped in saran wrap with peanuts in the box. So the paint was pretty well chipped up, but not a totally huge deal as some of the marks will be covered up by the wheels.
But here is the kicker, when I opened the box with the calipers, the same saran wrap on the calipers with nothing between them to keep from knocking against each other. So the terrible paint job that was applied to them was chipping in multiple areas, especially on the front (visable part of the caliper).
Then the portion around the pistons was not tapped off, and the paint was terrible, I know it's not visible but will cause future peeling of the paint on the entire caliper.
This one almost makes me think there might be a leak, the way the paint has bubbled up.
So as soon as I open them up, I contact DPE G who was LESS than responsive in any type of assistance. He blamed UPS for the way they handled the shipment, but if it was packaged correctly to begin with most of these issues would not of happened. HERE IS THE FINAL KICKER, I CONTACT UPS TO FILE A CLAIM AND THERE WAS NO INSURANCE PURCHASED A SHIPMENT TIME FROM DPE G ON A SET OF $3000 BRAKES!!
He also took the calipers apart to paint them, which scares me a bit (as this was never mentioned before or during purchase, as this would of changed my mind. I told him if he wanted to try and make it right, he knows my paypal account and could refund me back some $$, which I still have yet to see...I will be having them sandblasted and either powder coated or painted PROPERLY and installing them possibly next weekend. My fingers are crossed there are no leaks, as he assured me that he drove on them for a week without issues.

If you are having them Powder Coated, try to contact Alliance or try to find a caliper rebuilding kit. I rebuilt my sports calipers after I got them powder coated Candy Red. GL!
