I am not surprised. Par for the course with my experience. They must have to much business they don't have time to reply to people.

Suggest you do a search on Wheel Dynamics and fast forward wheels and see why they were banned as sponsors on 6SpeedOnline.

My two experiences with Wheel Dynamics were not satisfactory. The first time I contacted them through RL, I never heard back from them. The second time I wanted to buy a set of their replica GT3 wheels (for street use) but by the time Eli finally got back to me, so much time had passed that I had bought another set of wheels.

There are too many other businesses out there that are eager to earn your business.

Got some specific links? That's a pretty bold statement, but my google-fu and searching of 6spd don't return anything relevant.

Thanks.

My take is that in the first link no reputable wheel shop would weld wheels meant for a high performance car, but it's the seller that knew and didn't disclose that is really to blame there. Great he "feels" bad and "took a loss", but he could quite literally have been responsible for killing someone!

The second link isn't really a complaint, just referencing a complaint (you're first link?).

The last link definitely speaks against the reputation too. Wow indeed.

Thinking I need to pull those Carrera IIs off and give them a good look now

I wonder why the thread in the third link just dies off. The OPs last post states he will never rest, never stop, until he gets every last dime out of Eli ! And then...nothing... no updates... Did Eli "take care" of the problem? I guess we will never know.

It's beyond me why anyone would essentially be begging a business to take their money when the business won't give the simple courtesy of a timely reply.

Take your business elsewhere. If you want Fuchs-type wheels, try Braidusa.com or Fiske. Both are reputable businesses who make the kind of Fuchs look-alike wheels you are seeking.
