Ah. Yup. That one.

Tu did call me and actually sent me my sensors that got lost in all of the ordeal. Vibration was acceptable but then the paint was coming off in sheets and they never did hold air. GTAHVIT and a few others can attest to the air. Hell, I had to stop several times on the way to Arizona to get air. And on the way back. It was much better then too. They had grinded the 'bad; spot.

Would you happen to know of some rims that look similar?

PQ · 12-21-2011, 07:48 PM

Not exactly but there are some good ones out there.

It's the concave3 aspect of Russes wheels that you might be the most impressed by.

Any company can do a lip and paint.

I like these ones too.

You really did dodge a bullet, my friend.

OMG!! $5500.00 for a set of wheels and they aren't balanced and the paint work sucks? If I bought a set of those, and they wouldn't accept a return, I'd have to take a train out to see them.I say train, because they wouldn't let me in the airport with what I had.

Believe me, if I lived close I'd have had a full refund. Or a comparable set of wheels. I got ****ed all the way around. Nice guys finish last. I was a nice guy. I learned a helluva expensive lesson. I do wish I'd have just demanded a full refund but, like I said, nice guy.

Took nearly 6 months to get the vibration issues out, paint AND chrome is coming off, so much so that I can't get them to seal air in. Uh, ya, nuff said.

Take a deep breath. Your blood pressure is rising

TJ91 · 12-21-2011, 11:55 PM

yeah completely forgot about pqs and all you other folks ordeal with them. Sad, such nice designs. Such shitty quality.
Absolute BS losing all that money. As a working student, if I got shafted that much, you better believe I would be at their front door making sure I got my money back!
I hate the thought of people who screw others over.

That is the problem when you buy from an internet vendor........if something goes wrong they simply ignore you........

That's how much I LOST by the time I sold them. I had more than that in them.

If you're in the market for some high dollar, good-looking wheels check out these guys ... ADV, DPE, HRE, 360 Forged, etc. If that's not your style, check out Forgeline and COR Forged. I'm certain I've missed a ton of manufacturers, but shoot Nine Ball a PM and he should be able to set you up with what you're looking for.

As stated, you're going to pay premium for some monoblock forged wheels or even some concave wheels, but most generally offer a 3-piece entry level, 'more affordable' option as well (case and point - ADV TRAKfunction).

Darth_Emma · 12-22-2011, 07:55 AM

I can recommend Forgeline wheels. I love mine. Forgeline.com

Nine Ball is running a special with them now on their Premier and their Performance series wheels. They are light weight and the finish is perfect.
