Forged Specialties (BEWARE)

I have never even heard of Forged Specialties before and I am a wheel *****. Just comes to show that new companies with no track record will cheat you at any point. That is why I would either get one of the JDM brands where you can't customize yourself or buy something that is made ENTIRELY in the US..... That is why the only brands from the US that I even have faith in that they will be made to perfection are DPE(yes I waited a ****long time but its all US made), HRE, and CCW(my favorite company to date to do business with) to name a few. There are too many new companies popping up these days to trust them.

Doesn't suprise me ! Sorry for this but I know 2 guys personally who had dealed with them first hand and both had similar situations . ForgedSpecialties FTL!!!! Company is going down and yes they are made in CHINA we had this problem about a year ago when they claimed they were German made ! My friends purchased these wheels, Bunch of crap there are many wheel manufactures who claim a high quality product but in reality they are cheap made wheels w a name to sell .

That really sucks. Sounds like they are scum bags. Car forums aren't sacred, but we're kind of a trusting bunch, and it sucks to see people try and capitalize on us.

Blaine theirs 2 sides of the story, why dont you put up the email of FS trying to help you, or I guess you forgot that part. Its ok, and dont make up lies about the China thing again, b/c you dont know what your talking about.

Its not my place, unless I am told I can do so since they cant defend themselves. OH and yes of course I would defend them, I sold them and Blaine is the only customer that has really had issues. Every one on forums always knows theirs 2 sides to a story, and the truth is they offered to help you, but it seems to be your way or the highway from what I read in the email.
Its ok, I never saw you as an a-hole or anything. I took care of you, and didnt even make a profit on your order. OH and guys just so everyone knows, Blaine was given a cost deal on his wheels, and received one of the first sets that they had sold. Let me just throw in that part, b/c I did handle the sale.

Oh and if you look up my posts, I jump in on threads, b/c I MYSELF have seen the quality. I also have been a member on here long before, I am a car guy and have many other posts. Blaine had an issue, and was offered twice for the right solution and turned it down twice. I wont say more, but dont trying talking junk about me. I have a ton of happy customers, and people know me in person.

Yeah, already told you that. I did find it funny you called out a customer I have sold wheels too locally, with no issues. Actually he gets compliments all the time, and loves his wheels so nice one on that. Look Blaine, like I said, its impossible to make everyone happy. Their were issues, and you wanted it fixed your way, and thats not how it works in the industry. It stinks that you have issues, but you were also one of the first. Why do you think you got a cost deal?? Yes I will say it again for everyone to hear, Blaine got a cost deal on the wheels.
I have dealt with Hre, to tsw,heck even Adv1, the most expensive of all. No one will do what you were asking, and they offered a very solid solution.
OH and so you know, I am not the only one who uses my name. Danny is a real person, and he uses my name to post occasionally. He gets on car threads, I dont see the big deal so no need to hide as your saying.
Blaine keep with the personal attacks, what goes around comes around. I have never lied to anyone, and my customers that I have sold wheels to I take care of. What Clyde does it his own business, but I know MY customers are happy and they have no issues with their wheels. I dont have all day to play your games, its just low class all I can say. Though like I said, I dont think your an a-hole, your just mad, but everyone tried to help you and not youve made this extremely serious from what I hear so will see how things end up.
