Tell him he can have the wheels back, and let him know you will be giving him the bill for the blasting and expect a refund on the wheels. Also make
sure to tell him that you are going to see your solicitor this week to discuss small claims action 
It'll either work or it won't, can't lose much more.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

I'd go have a word, no need to threaten anything - cos to be honest I'm sure £100 isn't worth that to you.
Personally I'd drop the wheels off one at a time, maybe once every...month? but not tell him that
That way he will get rid of one, then another will arrive and make him have to do another trip and try and barter with the local dump!
Small justice, but better than pretending you will murder him like some internet hero would.

Smash them with a sledge hammer\grinder and post the bits through his letter box over a VERY long period of time.
or
Burst him

If you do leave them make sure they can't be re-bodged and sold on to another victim.

I'd not be giving them back at all if I could help it, even less so without a full refund. These are alloy wheels right? I dont know what alloy
scrap is making at the moment but it's better in your pocket than his!

Visit him in the middle of the night and nick the wheels off his car, leaving it standing on the ones you just bought
BTW what are those wheels above? Is there a special name for that pattern?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

i think you should take pictures, get the bill from the blasters, get something in writing from them and go back to him.
Explain that this really isn't fair old chap. Ask him to refund the cost of the wheels + blasting. when he says no, offer to compromise on the
cost of the wheels. When he says no, tell him that you're about to go home to the forum and explain what a poo he is & see what he says.
When you go to the forum, only state facts. no opinions. leave it a week. Hopefully he'll have had lots of grief. go back and see if he'll
give you your money back. make a note of ALL conversations including your initial texts.
If none of that works - then weigh up how much this means to you as going legal is going to cost.
(as you have his address and phone number - didn't he want double glazing, free trial of hemeroid cream, a stannah stair lift etc)

Out of interest, you got a picture of how bad the damage/bodging is?

Cheers Boggle! Thanks for the offer - appreciate it!!
I spoke to Mark (our local powdercoater) and he has a buddy who's a whizz at Mag repairs, so he's going to take a look at 'em and
decide if they are an economically viable repair

Ah, ok.
They are pretty much indentical to the ones I have here ( a gift from a very good friend, you know who you are) are 4".
Unfortunately, I only have 3.
So far.
I love alleycats.
Proper wheels.
