Well, if anyone cares, I finally got my rims, tires, and lugs. There is a big long surface scratch down the back of one of the rims.
And, the boxes containing each wheel & tire combo is labelled at 50 pounds! Holy chit! The wheels were only supposed to weigh 17 lbs. When I find a scale I'm going to weigh them. I sure as hell am not adding 13 lbs to each corner of my car.
I'm not going to think about it right now. I'm too drained by the whole thing, and it's friday night. Enough said?
My rims just came in today too. Didn't have the chance to open the boxes yet because I'm on hold right now for customer service. Only 3 out of 4 rims came in today...
Edit:I talked to the customer service rep. and she said stuff like this happens all the time. It occurs more often when shipping to Hawaii and Canada because UPS isn't used. She told me to sit tight and the last rim will come in eventually. Hopefully eventually is tomorrow.
What do you mean only balanced up to 65 MPH?! wtf is up with that?
Thats a load of s***. So you paid for the balancing, but you'll just have to go get them balanced again :wtf:
Damn,
There are some horror stories here.. I might not have ordered my rims from wheelmax had I seen this.. in any case.. I ordered my rims last friday.,, june 21st I believe, I was told they would arrive friday and lo and behold they got here on time... no scratches, dings, dents or anything as I checked them after reading about the scratch on the inner rim story.. This is my 3rd time ordering from them ( i bought a set of rims for my 200 sx I had and rims for the 2k2 maxima I have ) and they always got here within a weeks time.. So from my own personal experience they are ok.. but from everyone else's I should have avoided them like the plague!! I must really have lucked out! Sorry to hear you all have gone through hell...
yeah.. I was up to 80 yesterday and they seemed fine.. but now that you mention this I will be doing some hauling ass to see if they jacked me too!! If so then I will be getting them rebalanced at my bro in laws work.. if need be, the can hook me up.
man.. now you got me all worried!! =] this sucks!!
Well, guess what day it is all? JULY 7TH, and where are my rims? I have no ******* clue. Wheelmax told me they'd "call me back once they had more info today" but i bet i won't hear from them. I'm sick of this bulls***, and i want my rims.
i ordered my rims and tires from whalentire on the 1st of july and i got them today...thats 4 days (sunday and the 4th non-shipping days)...might even be 3 days, i dont think ups ships on saturdays
WOOHOO FINALLY! I got my rims, and they are on my car. Nothing saying they were only balanced up to 65mph, freeway seemed fine. Much better than being on bent rims.
Overall I guess you get what you pay for. bad customer service = cheap rims, and tires. I got 4 Pirelli P7000 for 300 bucks, so i can't complain. Not to mention my sweet rims!
Now my car screams for lowered springs, and a big brake kit... The stock rotors look timy in the wheel well, not to mention the front ones are rusting like a mofo. Warranty anyone...? heh
Pics are coming soon i hope
I understand that their customer service sucks a fat one, but for those of you with exel wheels how is the quality? I have an SVT Focus, and our wheel selection with the 4x108 bolt pattern kind of sucks. I found some wheels that I really want for a good price, but I am weary of the quality. Please, for those of you that have them, give me your opinions. Thanks.
