Jongbloed wheels... feedback?

Ok, I'm getting the picture here. Good product, good intentions, poor follow thru. Sounds like they need to practice underpromise overdeliver. Confirms my pre-thread impression (I'll spare you the story - nobody died, but I was thinking about strangling someone through the phone). Thx everyone for responding.
Really, look at Bogart. His wheels are fantastic AND reasonably priced.
Most of the GT guys here in Northern California use Bogart wheels. I have never heard a complaint about the wheels. I have two sets and think they are great!

We've got 6 sets between 2 cars, 3 different styles of wheel center, we haven't had any durability issues. Good service when I needed parts (bent rim- my fault). They took longer to deliver than the initial estimate, having them anodized a custom color may have contributed. I don't know anything about the cracking mentioned above, we haven't had any cracks and 3 sets of our wheels are several years old.

I've got a couple sets on my car that I'm happy with. They get beat up pretty bad and no cracks to speak of. Ryan has come through with parts sent overnight to the track for me, so I can't complain of delayed service at all. Plan on buying another set soon. I have the 305 centers in 10.5x18's

to add on to my earlier post - yes I have had issues, but Ryan is totally behind his product
And, I love these wheels. Incredibly light and strong (I've tested the latter several times with off road excursions).

Or go with Fikse which are problem free because they never get around to delivering them or if you break them, replacement parts (Read That as stay away RUN!). Good product. Crap management.
So the pickings are dwindling.
Anyone from Fikse who take issue with this please feel free to try to defend yourself here.
FWIW: I was going to get two sets of Jongbloed wheels and my wrench talked me into the Fikse's. My divorce was less of a hassle.

I would also look at CCW if they have them in the size/style you want, great wheels at a low price and delivered on time...

CCW's are good too with good service. The "Classic" wheel that everyone races with isn't as light or sexy as Jongbloed, but they are solid wheels. I haven't used their one piece offerings but wouldn't hesitate to try them out based on experience with their 3 piece.

Last year I bent a Fikse on a curb 10 days before an important race.
Found Alan through his cell. He had my specs and was able to have a wheel delivered three days prior to the event.
Cheers and thanks again Alan.

They are gorgeous wheels, super light, but if mine go out of whack due to a production issue and i'm told I have to dismantle them (100's of bolts), ship them to JB on my nickle, then re-assemble them after the issue is corrected I will never buy one again. Simple solution to a simple problem.
