Hope you guys had better luck with the company than I did. They still owe me 5k. Here's a link to my post over on the 997 turbo forum.

hmm, I don't see it anymore either. shady. irrespective of the actual truth, given all the issues on the boards purchasing from them sounds risky at best and I'm surprised they haven't been banned as a sponsor....

Copied this over because
a) they don't seem to realize that companies like Forgeline DO offer a track warranty on their wheels (outlined on their website)
b) GT3s and GT4s DO come with a warranty that covers DEs, track.
It seems to me that the highlighted wording in red above could very easily be interpreted as someone shooting from the hip without having done research on the subject matter.
I realize its tough to be the new kid on the block when entering a field with established players. That just means one has to try, at least, twice as hard. Especially in today's world with everything being connected and visible due to the net.

Many well established wheel companies have had wheel failures on and off the track.
So lets not play games here and speak out of line here.
.........
So go off and call or email any wheel company you wish and see if you'll get a document stating the warranty isn't voided on your wheel/ or any mechanical component in that case if it was used for racing/track use and it fails.
You probably won't be able to get that because just like Porsche and many other OEM manufactures once you drive the car on a race track ALL warrantees are voided.

I ordered these a while ago and have yet to receive them , now with this new info I am very concerned about using them. I will contact my CC company to see if I can cancel the order.
