The real question is.......will these guys redeem themselves and bring back thier good name or continue beating this dead horse.

My wife said Im too patient. I told her that is a quality she should be happy I have. Lol.

Its funny how all the sudden you dont hear or see a reply back to your thread from them.. Forgeline and Rushforth are the best out there.. After your experience I would steer clear

Zak from boze Forged Hell of a nice guy,order wheel from him 2weeks ago,and asked if possible to get them done in two weeks for a SCCA event coming up,got the call tonight they will ship tomorrow.Those are the people I like to give return bussiness too.For Truforged to do that is BS! My bussiness that I do,if some one complaines I will give them the kitchen sink if I have to,Bad karma spreads a lot faster these days.So hopefully they will resolve or refund something back.I sure this post will make someone stay away,they fore they will loose more in the end.

Kinda strange since a lot of these wheels names are all made by the same manufacture. Did you just send the centers back to be rebuilt. Did they just re use them and open the center bore than bead blast ur centers instead of chemical strip them like they should be done. I would of charged the card back

SVTP has good things to say but a local Houston board member went through hell on the wheels he got for his project. I know it took months to get them right.

I applaud your patience very much.
If it were me,......I wouldn't let the seller get a second chance. But,...that's just me. lol
As for True Forged wheels, I see and read nothing but great things about them on SVTperformance, which I know was brought up already. I know quality is quality, but it is human to error and I "assume" that human error was the case in the quality inspection.
I hope you get your problem solved soon. Good luck.

I'm burning another vacation day tomorrow to get the tires unmounted and shipped back. Please understand guys (Ron ), Walmart and Tire World are the only places around here that does this sort of work on the weekend and I don't trust them with these wheels. So, I have to take a day off to do this on a weekday because the place I trust isn't open on Saturday. I would rather have spent that time with my kids on their Christmas vacation. Oh well.

They are going to make another stab at this. We'll see what happens and how long it takes.
