Saga of Wheels

osbornsm · 02-14-2014, 09:58 AM

Hello all,

I put in a custom order for Forgestar size and color on November 25th.

- The Wheels were part of a group buy so we waited til everybody was in, then submitted the group order.
- My size wheel was back ordered, wait more.
- My wheels did not pass quality inspection, wait.
- The wheels are powder-coated the wrong color, and poorly done at that.
- They are now in the process of stripping their sh*t powder-coat job, and putting on the CORRECT color ...PROPERLY, wait.
- I have been waiting for 12 weeks so far.... *sigh

That is all, just needed to vent.

Sorry... Good luck brother!
I hope they're cutting you a deal

Hang in there man.

osbornsm · 02-20-2014, 12:54 PM

Update:

After the wheels went back to the powdercoater, they tell me that the red color i ordered is not a "viable option". Wouldn't you have told me that 3 months ago when i f*cking ordered them?

Damnit there's some bad service out there.

Damn, that sucks.

osbornsm · 02-20-2014, 01:10 PM

THIS is the color that i really want.

osbornsm · 02-20-2014, 01:14 PM

They say they're going thru their entire webpage to remove "Textured Red" from available options.

looks like they need to get a new powder coater!

If you ask them to credit you I can hook you up with a powder coater that can do any color you want.

We're using the same PowderCoater that Forgestar uses... although with less than stellar results.
