1. Your wheels are not to the quality you requested, which you claim is from the manufacturer 'dragging them against the ground' to which you have no proof.

2. It has taken longer than you were told you'd wait.

3. It's only cost you the price of initial purchase and shipping, not the multiple return shipping costs...

4. You say Chris@WDO is not the culprit, yet the thread is titled 'WheelsDirect Experience' So if your argument is not against Wheels Direct, why name the thread that?

5. Chris has repeatedly claimed to have done everything he can to assist you, and work as a middleman to resolve this issue. And although you continue to comment that it's not against him, the issue still remains that you do say that he personally oversaw the wheels being packaged and that he must have either a. let them go through to you as is, or b. he blatantly lies saying he saw them prior to shipping. Which one sounds better?


It's not that people 'don't get' your situation, it's just hard to see the truth through the fog of details. 99% of us aside from yourself, Chris and FS don't know every detail of what's going on, but it looks like from the outside that this thread was made extremely premature, and that there isn't a clear and defined problem here. Being a premium member, I recommend you close this thread and/or delete it and take this matter to PM's between yourself, Chris and/or FS to get this matter resolved.
he wont close this thread because

1. This is an attention thread.
2. This is entertaining and funny.
3. fedex > UPS.

but in all seriousness if i was out 3k+ i would be extremely pissed. BUT YOUR NOT OUT 3K...they are still working with u and showing u that they are there for you...just give them some time and all these months your adding up dont make sense...takes 3 months to get the wheels...u send them back they paint and re sent it...that takes about 2-3 weeks...where do u get the extra 3 months 1 week? from 4 months extra...OOOO ANNNND

Thats right .. I will not close it ! 3 mnths to get the wheels. Another mnth to ship have them fixed . Received the wheels and so far 3 of the 4 are fcked up . Still waiting on the 4th which will be here Thurs. Who knows what the condition will be. Remember they were not like this when I received them . If I want new wheels I have to wait for another 3 mnths . They do not offer refunds . So the only option is to wait however long it takes to get these wheels. So a total of 7 mnths and hoping there is No issues with the replacement wheels..

Maybe you'd like to talk to Caravanshaka about his ordeal with Forgestar. You're not the first to go through a situation like this. It happens. And you can all you want, but that doesn't deny the fact those points are valid.

The thing that is a bit perplexing is that Forged Specialties seems to consistently deliver top quality wheels, but your wheels seem to have repeat issues. Maybe there is some contamination issues that occurred during the painting process? The paint problem is one thing, scratches on the outside of the wheel cannot be narrowed to the supplier when wheels get shipped with all other large freight and therefore are subject to more abuse.

That said, I highly doubt they would purposefully damage your wheels as I can almost guarantee you they don't exactly like having wheels returned to them. To suggest that is a bit preposterous, what is their motivation to send you damaged wheels and damage their pretty good repution? I can't see any reason why they would.
