A money back guarantee is a really nice way to show you stand behind a product, but i'm really curious about what makes strasse such high quality. I'm sure they are high quality, they look like they are, and judging by the clientelle, they are. But considering the cars these are on, (lambo's etc) you're talking about type a clientelle that really doesn't mind shelling out another 2-3k on wheels if you convince them its something better. These are people that equate price with quality, so if wheel x costs more than wheel y, then wheel x is better in their eyes. simple as that. but this isn't a lamborghini forum. its not even a GTR forum. i'm not trying to :stirthepot: but if theres something we are all missing out on in terms of quality, i'd be really curious to know what it is.

Here are just a few points of quality:

1) Yes we use 6061 aluminum just like many of the top brands

2) Every wheel is tested and inspected for its strength and quality

3) Stainless Steel Fastners

4) Unlike other manufacturers we do not use vinyl or stickers on our wheels

5) Each Design is tested for DOT and competition use

6) We use the flatest forging possible to ensure the lightest weight possible for our wheels

7) We also have a race prep package that allows us to drop up to a pound of weight per wheel by removing extra material from the wheel while maintaining wheel rigidity.

8) I can go on and on about what makes Strasse Forged a superior product and why you should buy our wheels... but its more than just $$$=Quality that keeps people buying our wheels! The Strasse Forged Product is a brand you will want to stand behind as an owner... Strasse Forged owners love their wheels and you will never hear one bad thing about the wheels from an owner even after years of owning the product!

Plus, I have killer prices on these wheels right now! Puma was quoted a killer price on both CF and on all black with pinstripe!

Choose Strasse Forged you will be happy with your purchase that I can promise!:tup:

How many years does it take to make a functional website? Just sayin'.

bullitt5897 11-29-2010 04:37 PM

Mustang I know several Majorly successful and quality companies that do not have a website up and running... A website does not = quality... if that was the case every graphic design artist would have the best quality products period!!!

Unlike other companies we post unedited photos of our wheels right after they are finished for people to view. These photos can be found on facebook or in our Mega thread :tup:

Forged Specialties does the same, all unedited straight footage. I think its the way everyone should do it, instead of all the enhancing and photoshop these days. Heck even the photographers are all about technology these days, and their is not ONE manufacturer right now that shows the actual cars with no editing. Forged Specialties has promised this, but I dont want to hold my breath, but they havent failed me yet.

I want to see all these manufacturers do pictures like jeff blue did, where it was about the quality of the photographer and his skill, not his skill on the computer. This way people know what their getting instead of the bloated junk all these companies show. I must be old school haha, I guess its time to get rid of my cell phone and upgrade, what do you guys think?

sounds like a well made product. unless i'm mistaken though, there are regulations in place that wheel manufacturers have to meet. i dont think any john doe can go out there and make wheels in his garage and sell them.

"Though not enforced, there are quality standards to govern the production of wheels. Some countries though, like Germany and Japan, have government regulations requiring aftermarket wheels to meet certain criteria and ensure proper fit. The United States has taken steps to establish guidelines but it will be some time before they can enact regulation of any kind."

ask your boss he knows actually whats going on.

bullitt5897 11-29-2010 05:32 PM

Yes there are specific regulations that regulate wheel production... Our wheels meet and exceed those regulations in every aspect!
