My F14's arrived today......WAY ahead of what is considered normal for them meaning I am sure these were not originally intended for my order. The boxes had been resealed....not all the wheels were packaged the same....and they are not perfect. I uploaded photos as examples into a photobucket album and would appreciate opinions on what I should do. I know I am very particular so I am trying to figure out if I am expecting to much or if these should go back. PHUQUE!

I have already contacted B2 and sent the same link.....he has already sent the link to Forgestar and is supposedly talking with them this afternoon.
What really sucks is, I had Forgestar commit parts to my order before I placed my order. That way I felt pretty confident I would receive them within the 6-8 week normal lead time. Well I am 100% sure these were not made specifically for me from my allocated parts. So if I hold out for another set, I am sure I will be looking at a ridiculous lead time.....just like Joe. Pisses me off.

B2 however, is where I ordered mine from. They were pretty good to work with and I didn't have any issues returning mine and getting a refund.
Those weren't just test fit, those were hammered on by whatever vehicle they were put on. If done right I'm sure you could test fit a wheel, take it off, and no one would know.

Thanks...
Send those back asap. If you are set on getting forgestars and want to wait then do that otherwise get your money back and find another set of wheels. It's just a crappy situation when you look for wheels for so long, wait for them, get excited, just to open the package to see that.

Andrew you hit the nail on the head with your comments. I really studied the world of wheels and I like the Forgestar wheels, weight, design, price, custom offsets......but I am getting a bad vibe on these guys, had it from the start but put the blinders on and went with it. This is obviously a sketchy deal. Not sure a huge discount is going to make me happy and not sure I trust them any more. Sucks. Might just have to find a set of M35 OEM 19's and call it good!
Adrian at B2 has been good to work with up to this point. Most vendors are great....until there is a problem. I get the sense Adrian is a stand-up guy and will do the right thing.
Seriously, thanks again,
Scott

Thanks for all the comments. It is good to know I was not being unreasonable in my assessment.

however, for being someone who bought two sets of wheels from forgestar and have had no problems, i'm very disappointed in their decision to send out wheels of that condition to their customers and expect them to be ok with it...it doesn't take a genius to figure out that when you purchase new, custom-made wheels, that you expect new, custom-made wheels to be delivered to you. i had great things to say about them, and now i'm embarrassed after seeing those pictures. i probably wouldn't buy from them in the future either.

Janik/Andrew/Hossam/anyone else.....who's thinking about auto-x'n this weekend??? I know its proving grounds this weekend, so it actually might be a great weekend to auto-x because the # of drivers will be down, so possibly get more runs?

Sunday I am gonna be busy. Parade downtown, getting **** face drunk, then booze cruising around Minnetonka. I will probably be in no condition to drive even a golf cart. haha
Scott: That looks like ****. I'd be getting those puppies returned asap.

What's going on all? I thought I should drop in since I've been MIA for the past couple weeks, I hope everyone is doing well and am looking forward to getting together with most of the people in the next couple weeks sometime before the 7th if not then.

It sounds like you have already made your decision about sending them back. I say do that, think about how you want your car to end up in the end and either go with OEM wheels or continue to look for a different aftermarket wheel.
I would probably be down. I am assuming you are thinking of going Lance? Is Emad still fairly certain he is going to make it?

Those Forgestars are FUBAR'd... that has to be the sorriest set of wheels Ive ever seen someone try to pass off as new... sh^t one of them is just straight up broken... what kind of crap is that?
