I'm trusting they will get it right. It really does suck because it cost 327.00 to ship them back.

I can laugh because I did something similar years ago, only it was more of a crush between 2 steel plates... Like squishing a cockroach.
My hand hurts worse today than any time so far. Saw an ortho today. Have to have a pin put in. :(

i had 22" wheel son my dodge truck (not forged) and I had no issues with vibrations either

his wheels are probably defective

I hope I can be confident in them after this though.

Or it was because they rushed them for the fest.

Well, in fairness, the guys who said that were just laborers who weren't familiar with my case. But, ya, I'll be going somewhere else because they still scratched the damn rims up a bit.

If it's your middle finger you can flip people off and get away with it... "I was just waving, Sheesh!"

Pain is good... Let's you know you're alive

You know... It wouldn't be funny... sorta... but do you have pics of the car sitting in your yard on concrete blocks?


At least they're making it right... Right?

WOW...just wow.

REALLY feel bad for all your troubles...especially the super tweaked finger. :(

Regarding the Savanis...I certainly hope that the vendor is going to reimburse you for shipping. The 'right' thing would have been for them to ship boxes to your house with pre-paid labels. REALLY bad form on the part of the vendor (or re-seller). If your in the merchandise business you need to know how to PROPERLY perform and RMA.

As good as the Savanis look...if I were in your shoes I would return them for full credit and look at other brands.

Good luck...and seriously...best of luck with the finger...I hope it heals quickly and correctly.

They don't believe they shipped that way. With 3 out of 4 messed up so badly I don't know what the heck to think. I actually may just get a refund. I got a helluva deal but if you add my mounting, balancing, and shipping in the deal, I'm another 400+ out of pocket. It depends on what they say when they get them. How long it will take and such. I could get some decent AM ones quickly and and roundly and use some funds for mods. But as long as I get a good feeling that they will be right, and I'm not out any money, I'm good. You're right, I should have had the shipping paid. I paid a lot of money and got something defective.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. The wheel I was going to spin in the next video was the worst. The one in the vid I posted was about how the other one was. I'm just sick about all this. My finger was my fault.
