Not surprised one bit, that last post by "Bob" this morning was extremely fishy. Nice work Mark!

There is a seller (Porscherims_net) that has these wheels but also great feedback. Just curious if there where other names to be careful of...

We would appreciate it if you would not mix our companies name/reputation with RaceTech

WE ARE IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH RACETECH, we don't buy, sell or distribute their wheels and we never will.

I might be late with this but kudois to "stvsxm" for what might be the best explanation of the difference between a "race" car and a "street" car. Not to say don't track day your street car but go in with your eyes open and expect failures both small and large when using a street car.
I personally don't track my car, I value it too much to stress it that much but, man, is it fun to get on it for short bursts in everyday driving, always mindful of safety for others and me!

I would watch out for Race Tech Forged as well. I called and spoke with Raz who uses a voip exchange. He had advertised specials for the the holidays with shipments by December 18th. When I called he stated it may take a little longer. Raz sent an incorrect order form from his accountant Carl. After making several corrections he asked that i pay via cash at wells fargo. I instead paid by pay pal.

Here is where it got shady. I made a payment to RTF at the email for their business acount per their instructions. Raz immediately called to apologize and stated that due to the previous owner no longer being around they did not have access. calling Pay pal as well as RTF calling pay pal I received a refund due to Raz's inability to get the money. They even tried to set up a RTF email at gmail but it was linked to the same RTF business account which was frozen.

I reached out and spoke with Gary as well and at that point we chatted about the hustle. I even shared emails.

Rennlist should have taken other complaints more seriously. There other threads that had red flags, most of which have been taken down. My guess is there is no money to sue Raz for and he will disappear and pop up under a different name.
