it's interesting

i'm pretty unbiased, but honestly from the posting the op here may seem to be in the wrong...

i may be biased because it annoys me how often the op here posts stuff trying to sell is product (which i can't afford)

it's not a big deal, just a few sets of bad wheels that they're selling to try and get some money back. I'm just trying to inform customers that these our not my wheels, they're rejects.

I'm really confused as to why MS seems to be purposely undermining your business. Did you not have a contractual agreement that they were not to resell your product under any circumstances, and ESPECIALLY not use your name? It also brings into question the markup on these wheels, I think a lot of people are going to be looking into it with MS.

Regardless Jordan I think you should clear this BS up asap. Everyone here seems more than satisfied with your service and product so far, I'd hate to see someone undermine you like this, I can't believe how pretentious the poster on MyMBonline was, I wanted to stomp his larynx.

hahah - yeah, he's just a kid I'm pretty sure...It's only 3-4 sets of wheels and they are already sold, so this will pass over soon. I don't have any contracts with MS, and I did speak with Danny, the owner about this...I'm not going to waste time on it - I just want people to be clear that they're not real 360 Forged wheels.

Glad to hear it man we've all been happy to see your business grow and watch your attention to your customers. In the end that's what people are willing to pay the extra coin for.

something still seems shady on your end too-

if your side of the story is entirely true (i'm sure it is mostly) why aren't you going after them?

what is so wrong about the wheels? why were they rejected? it seems the other brands they make are at least as good of quality as yours...

i'm just curious here

I'm a non confrontational person, I'm not going to waste time and effort on 3 sets of wheels. It's done, and that's it. I'm also not going to go into detail and spread rumors about the wheels and why they were rejected.

Modular does make nice wheels, I'm not saying they don't - and I'm not going to talk bad about there company like they did to me. All I'm saying again is that those are not my wheels.

Do you even sell your wheels directly to SonicMS?

well, you know what I heard? I heard the Modular wheels are made of people and they're tested by running over puppies. Lab puppies. Now that is cruel. I also heard that the guy that runs modular is the guy that made the 2G1C video. That's what I heard can't disclose my source cause she works for them and she could lose her job.

I don't see how Jordan did anything wrong. Someone is selling a product he put to market and he had every right to point out that it's not his original product. I thought it was ghey that they made you change your name on the other forum.

Tan, you're entitled to your opinion but that is a standard rule on most forums I frequent including this one. If you're not a sponsor then use a different screen name. Nobody would have cared if Jordan used his standard CLS63 name.

Anyway, glad the situation is put to rest.

Yeah tell you what, I'm going to take vacation days off from my Wall Street job to fly out to Cali and fight some 150lb mook. Right. When did I give my word anyway? I don't remember committing to a grudge match. Opal can retaliate all he wants, his tone was obnoxious and indignant, and childish. What's even more childish is taking the time to personally PM everyone who said something negative about him. Sorry dude I don't have the time or the energy to argue with you kids.

The both of you need to chill out and take a few hours at a bath house, or whatever you do in San Fran.
