Nothing from forged specialties or Chris or Danny or even Clyde . No pm , text , phone calls , emails or a reach around .. Nothing ... Hey at least I got them at cost . Actually , they said nothing that I was paying cost or even getting a discounted price .. Go figure ..

Sorry to hear about your situation.. I always though that new companies should basically give out their wheels for free and sponsor a few people on the forums... This is a much better way of displaying your wheels..

Good luck with everything and I'll keep my eye out for these wheels.. I'm sure they lost a lot of business now because no one wants to deal with a shady business.. I've dealt with similar situations and it's a terrible experience.

The business model for these companies is to drop shop and start over the second there is a story like this. My guess is in a few weeks there will be a "new" forged wheel company. He already has multiple sham companies as is...

Interesting read on a boring Monday night. Sorry for your crappy situation man, at least now they will get a lot less business from a few forum members.



Sucks that he did not come back for more lying, I had my popcorn ready too.

From our understanding, most of the lower price forged wheels are using china made barrels, with center face cut, painted and asssembled in US.

But I think that's not the real issue here. The main issue are the assembled process and final finished and packing of the wheels not being done right.

Are the barrels, and face of the wheels spray with any type of clear coat for oxidation prevention ?

Did a google search, looks like similar issues are popping up on BMW forum.

To be fair though, who gets rid of Volks for one of these overnight starter "forged" wheels?

Same happened with that fat idiot Jordan at 369 Forged and everyone was saying how he was screwed. Meanwhile, he didn't pay anyone back and then started another wheel company that sells cheap wheels under the ADV name
