i thought the same when he posted the pics in the useless thread, but i wasnt sure if it was just the lighting and the way the pics were taken but caravan confirmed my initial response...

caravan, not to take away from your happiness of finally getting your long over due wheels, but i honestly would not tolerate such inferior service or product from a company that makes rims for a living...

i mean after all this time and effort and especially Patience on your behalf!!!

where was the quality control?!? seriously did they think you would not notice

i applaud you caravan for your Patience and i hope the fourth rim is the same as the other three...

i for one will never purchase anything from forgestar ever, period!

Too bad, really. The wheel design, weight and price are great, but the service and quality are full of fail.

These days you can't find any business thats 100% perfect.
I just don't know why their customer service is so poor, thats the only way these business can ever last.
Glad to see you got your rims homie!

rears need a good spacer, but won't decide on size until I get my alignment done and I know how far to push it out with the right camber.
