The paint coverage is decent on the outside, but they failed to get any paint down in the corners. Paint coverage on the inside is very thin.

So, I've been cleaning up the lip & bead areas by hand, and I'll re-shoot them with satin black myself.

I wouldn't be too happy if I had paid more than $80 each. However, I think I got what I paid for.
Sounds like they did a horrible job and you're having to redo the whole thing.

I'll have to remember to never use the Wheel Shop in Windsor Locks.
