Default Feedback on Custom Wheels for Less

Hi,
I'm looking for aftermarket wheels for my GT3 and came across Custom Wheels For Less in Ohio but don't know anything about them. Anyone with experience dealing with them? Asking because the price was good..

Thanks!

Which brand of wheels? Generally my approach is to go to the dealer that has the closest relationship with the brand of wheel you want.

The VX1R is a nice looking wheel. A friend had a silver set on a white touring. Nice combination.

Same design in their Carbon Forged series.

Generally I stay away from a business that has the words "for less" in it....not because they sell an inferior product but because if there is something wrong with it when you get it rectifying the situation could be an issue....you pay for what you get...

They're likely just drop shippers. Ya get what you pay for in terms of product support.

With wheel dealers there really isn’t much issue with going with the lowest price. A lot of them will never even see the wheel they sell to you, and will drop ship to your address directly from the manufacturer. Shipping issues can be resolved through the payment provider if needed, and manufacturing issues can be resolved directly with the wheel manufacturer

I would have purchased from Gerry @ CW4L for my Corvette had I not found a used set for a great price. Gerry was very responsive to email and/or phone, even at weekends. He is active on Corvetteforum.com, and you can see he has no negative reviews, at least as far as I could see.

I bought wheels for my Corvette from Gerry. Very responsive, great communication, got Forgeline wheels that were just as requested and very quickly.
Have you contacted Forgeline directly?
