Wow, bummer. On the one hand, IF your wheels were structurally not sound, the guy did you a favor by revealing such. On the other hand ,if the guy is the type human that would take your wheels and substitute his crappy set, he did you wrong. Problem is you did not mark your wheels for positive id and there is now no way, other than suspicion that he may have done wrong. Check on his business to see if good or bad rep, something that should be done beforehand, eh !
I'd count my loss and move on, if you can not prove anything foul was afoot !! And, I'd most likely use another powder coater, if you do not trust this guy. Good luck.
