I'd hop in my car and make a road trip to the nearest chase bank USA, otherwise you'll be twisting and turning for 90 days.

No, that is incorrect, wires are generally completed within 48 hours or less and the funds are confirmed and receivable/withdrawn
With this fellows circumstance, there is zero chance his bank would do some sort of wire transfer "chargeback" if the sender, RTF, tried to retrieve the funds via a fraud claim sometime down the road within 90 days.
To postulate otherwise is surprising, I'm not a banker so I'm open to learning how this would be possible, especially in this poor guys circumstance with this company.
Really, to be blunt, you cannot "chargeback" a wire for up to 3 months.
Feel free to correct me

That is an insane amount of time to deliver a set of wheels.

THis is my 1st set of custom made rims. so I don't know if other companies take that long. plus them seem to be a smaller wheel company trying to grow.

What was the issue with the offset, and how are they correcting it?

I ordered the rims so a 305 wide tire would sit flush to the rear. The stick out. We were going to mess w my camber and Race tech would foot the bill. They even contacted shops for me but I choose not to do that. So they are sending me a return shipping label and I will mail the rims back.


I have not had any communication problems on there end. Raz has called me and offered options and even did a lot of the leg work finding me shops to go to.

Be careful. If you return them, you may never receive replacements. Nor a refund.

Increasing neg camber to "solve" tire sticking out of fender... Bad idea.

Sounds like they sent the wrong offset. What specs did you order?

I have come to the conclusion that this entire thread is a practical joke. I'm out. $5000 for rims is insane anyway.
Good luck finding a new bank. They are a bigger problem than the wheel crooks.
^ Is that Len Dawson after an early Super Bowl?
