BBS look awesome in 18s but shocking in 19s as the centre remains the same size and you get a half inch of silver shiny stuff all the way around.... Just looks disprotortionate in 19s...

 

I got three sets (Tech 1's) a little over a year ago and good luck, but I understand things are not the same anymore.

 

i need them back dude!!!

 

what you need is not 3 pcs 19" bbs.
you want the monoblock 19" forged BBS.
they are REALLY light..... i mean lighten your wallet by a lot.

 

jps is lotus!!!
though nevertheless, black and light gold BBS is ****.

 

You guys are funny

I still don't understand what the issue is with the tech 1 wheel??

 

BTW Moory, I mailed out that book today.

Incorrect offsets and wrong sizes for myself and many others...

GTEE3 suffered a total failure... PM him for details stu...

 

:-)
thank you.

 

Mooty, the benefits of their lightness don't ofset the lightening inflicted on the wallet IMO... They are awesome looking for sure!

 

Mr. GTEE3s wheel experienced an unexplained cracked spoke in service, not a "total failure".
We inspected the wheel and could find no obvious manufacturing defect. We sent the wheel to the forging company who made the blank and they could find no defect in the alloy, heat treat or hardness of the alloy.
We don't know what caused the crack, but we could only duplicate such a failure in our FEA system by exposing the wheel to a 200g+ side impact.
Our conclusion was this was not a failure in materials or workmanship.
Despite the fact that, like most wheel companies, we don't warranty wheels used in motorsports, we gave the customer the benefit of the doubt and a refund for goodwill purposes.

There are dozens of guys, just like several of the loyal posters in this thread, who own multiple sets of our wheels and have used them with outstanding results.
We stand behind our product and make things right when we are at fault, just like we did with you. We even try to make things right when we don't know who's at fault. Yet now you take every opportunity to beat us up, even though we made things right.

Thanks again to all of you who continue to support our products. I would love to hear from you in this thread.

 

Please! Made things right?

Like when you compensated for street tyres that were shreaded when your wheels wouldn't turn up (for my track tyres) and I was forced to run street tyres capable of tracking in wet conditions so I wouldn't lose thousands in track fees (should it rain) only to destroy them in the dry, or for days (and work hours lost) spent running around to find machine shops to put markings on wheels that your factory forgot, or for tyre fitment and removal fees that I paid and wasn't reimbursed or exchange rate losses... or should I just go on.... Feel free to stop me... Whilst better than nothing, what was refunded didn't even cover what I paid you... So please don't start with all the high road stuff unless you have about another $5k handy to truely compensate for the losses you caused and claim the moral high ground...

It is you that rubbishes your reputation by putting out sub-standard products with claims of extensive testing available for review on your website and for supplying products that haven't been tested for fitment. Amazingly the delivered goods don't fit and not a single report is available to download and review contrary to the claim on your website that is now down... If you were true to your claims, you would supply the promised products... Instead you hop from forum to forum defending you incompetence... I haven't said anything further after posting my experiences here earlier in the year but when I hear that you guys are up to your old tricks, I voice my warning... Not interested in beating your brand, you do that well through your actions and business practises... Just protecting others from a bad situation...

Frankly, considering you are not even a paying sponsor here, I'm not sure why you were afforded the benefit of the doubt to have the previous thread closed...

ps Is a wheel with a cracked spoke useable? No... Therefore it is a total failure... The fact that it didn't destroy his car in the process doesn't make it partial...

pps. Please don't claim credit for the GMG product and suggest somehow that the guys here using them are your customers... GMG deserve the credit for the product they offer. At least they've taken the time to ensure their product fits and works...

 

For what it is worth I know of a set of ccw that cracked from use.

 

We don't know what caused the crack in the spoke. We took every professional step to determine the cause. In the end, we refunded his money. I suppose you believe that ANY failure is the fault of the manufacturer. I suppose when the customer whacks a Kerb at 125MPH and ruins the wheel, that we should pay. I suppose you feel the right and need to "pile on" and continue to poison this situation with your vitriol, even when you have no part in this argument.
Hey! This is the internet and a public forum. You're entitled to say what you want.
Renlist closed the previous thread because they investigated the matter and want to be fair and reasonable to all parties. They will likely close this one.
In closing, I think it is disingenuous to accept reimbursement for a problem and then go to the forums and attack the guy who just helped you.
As I am not a sponsor on Rennlist, I will withdraw. I just wanted the fair minded among us to hear what happened from our side.
Happy Holidays.
PS; The pictures below are wheels that did suffer "total failure". They are not ours. But like us, the companies involved did their best to make things right. No cars were destroyed. They were not under warranty.
