So admin closed the customers threads and now customer has to speak through another vendor?

That makes no sense to me. The customer's threads should have never been closed, ever.

This looks worse IMHO.

Wheel cracks, ouch. Do wheels come with warranties for something like that? Not trolling or anything, just a noob when it comes to aftermarket wheels.

Length of warranty varies by manufacturer.

How long are they typically? Like a year or so?

One year is average

Thanks :tup:

Soo... wait...

Are you guys supporting FS or telling consumers to stay away from them? I see a post quoting the owner, saying that some parts of the wheels are made in China, and that their customers have unresolved issues regarding the finished quality.

In my eyes, it doesn't look good. But Mike, are you supporting them?

I also think it's worth mentioning that "6061" is labeled as such, and is considered an industry term, NOT ALL countries have the same variants. China 6061 may not be exactly like 6061 you find in America, Europe or Japan. Granted it is SUPPOSED to be, but depending on who you go to in China... it might not be what you get. In the end it's about WHERE the metal came from... so in the end, China 6061 may not be just like Japanese 6061.

I want to make this clear... UAM does NOT support Forged Specialties this thread was meant to give my opinion and both parties the ability to air the evidence and truth along with a plan to make it right for the customer!

Forged Specialties is our competitor... I personally went out of my way to try to make things right... As you can see my opinion on this brand is negative from all my posts in the past. I have made statements about the quality of these wheels time and time again. This is my personal opinion. I opened this thread back up so that all FS wheel owners will take note and possibly avoid an accident or worse from faulty wheels!

I am with Blaine on this one!

It's the truth . Chris claims there is nothing wrong with his wheels but if you have followed any threads in regards to this than you know better. He will not refund my money and says I am pretty much on my own in regards to these issues . He has opted to replace all four centers but at this point I have to keep safety in mind .. So I will be purchasing new wheels from a vendor on this site and moving forward to recover any money I can from F/S . Oh yeah.. Chris continues to claim nothing is his fault and he is a victim in all this ..

Thanks for clearing things up :tup:

I still don't get why admin closed the thread. Customer had legitimate complaint. Now competing vendor posting for customer?

Makes forum look disorganized.

I agree... and the information is all somewhat skewed.


I'll also agree and say that when you deal with parts that cost a fair amount of money, you need to get with the program and step up your commitment to keeping people happy. I've seen it too often that people will buy based off price and they end up screwing themselves over.

In the end, when a buyer has an experience with a company like that, it makes them see the value in paying more for a particular service. I'm sure that guy would be willing to pay more to have the right stuff the first time.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention Mike...

Nothing is worse than ordering a set of FS rims, waiting for news of their completion, and then reading this thread. Now what do i do?

Ask for refund!!

Get a $1M insurance policy on them and try to replicate the results seen above

:rofl2:
