Spanish product inquiry update

Here's the exchange I've had from bottom to top. I doubt it's a scam but I'll be careful. I have a number of small foreign customers all
over the world and it's worked out well for both parties but they all communicate in English. They usually want some special-purpose or custom product...and we do that well. I just want to figure out what this guy is looking for.
(I "x"ed out and diddled the e-mail addresses and URLs for the bots.)

I was wondering the other day if you make four inch diameter wire wheels, cause these chinese ones start coming apart in the first minute.

Hah! Chinese brushes don't last nearly that long. I've seen stray wires coming off as the brush winds up to speed in a POS B&D drill, before even touching the work.

I must be getting the good ones. In reality it was around 10-15 seconds when the first one hit me and at 10,000 rpm.

1. You didn't block his e-mail address out.
2. Looks legit to me. We get similar e-mails all the time. I either use google translate to e-mail back and forth with lots fo drawings and pictures or I put them on the phone with my foreman, Juan Carlos, who holds dual citizenship with the USA and Argentina and speaks the language of South American business opportunity clearly.
Lots of manufacturing going on south of the border for automotive and other products...
