[QUOTE=dragonAMG]No, I didn't see that. Did they end up selling them?


No, they didn't sell through the auction.

For anybody who's having doubts about Peter @ Wheelexperts i can personally vouch for him as when i got my stuff i've never had a single issue. As some members have already mentioned...best prices, very knowledgable and most of all best service! Bar none!

You can also try Neal at EuroTeck!

You definitely can't go wrong with either company!

being a sponsor means nothing to me.
remember a guy named Harris, he was a sponsor.

i have done business with peter at wheelexpert and the service is great.
personally it is all about service.

Hey Dr Jones! Thanks!

We were a sponsor of this forum at one time....I got my start here. I owe a lot to this place. We stopped in late 2002 as the sales tapered off due to lack of model interest at the time, but I am considering sponsoring it again.

Wheel Experts would be my first choice.

I had a big mess with Wheelsboutique, had same credit issue where it took a long time to get and not until I threatened to call Amex did they credit the money...and there were no hurricanes. Could be an isolated incident but I won't buy from them again.

Hmmmm, looks like the service concerns are real. Since JAY55's car inspired me, I may look into the "other" 2 options.

Yes Neil, I meant it as a compliment. I respect Ricky and so I listen when he types.

Anyone who is unsure about our company's reputation is free to call HRE and ask about our account history. They can tell you the amount of orders placed, payment history, high credit, etc....You can also search the forums under our company name to see feedback from our customers. You may also search for the same on the other forums 6speedonline.com, e46fanatics,com or audiworld.com where we have countless unbiased references.
ive never worked or work with wheelsboutique heres hre's # 1-760-598-1960

Aren't you previously MCHM3? You had 841R 20" on your M3 before. I met you with carlos at the CEC party in 2004. I remember ben was not there, just you and carlos. We had a drink at the Red Bull stand.

Anyhow, that is absolutely false. Anyone may call HRE at the number he posted and and find out the truth.

Guys Guys Guys!!!!

This is Carlos from Wheels Boutique I want to bring closer and understanding to this out of control thread which started off as a simple question which escalated into this "blame game".... First off I know Peter and have known him for many years and he is a straight up guy and our companies have both managed to coexist and engage in business competition for quite some time without any problems or "bashing" I want to apologize for MCH's comments he is in no way affiliated with us. Second numbers don’t lie we ARE HRE's Largest dealer and with this type of success and volume brings certain problems with customers and "growing pains" we do apologize but these incidents here seem to be isolated and you can not base the credibility of a company on the opinion of a few customer who had a not so pleasant experience. What about Thousands of other customers who had great experiences I don't see anyone talking about them as with everything only the bad gets attention. As we continue to grow we continue to strive for customer service and we do understand that you can't always make everyone happy and thus problems arise. Keep in mind that if we have made it this far we MUST be doing something right therefore the reason all of you did at one time order from us and we continue to work out the bugs and provide great prices and a great product. Thank You for your Understanding

whats up carlos.....it should be like the old days. I still remember that GS you used to have LOL

Anyhow, I'm not bashing you guys at all....just defending myself like I said before. But who was the guy with you that time we met at the CEC party?

MCHE55 -- 30 day ban.

I just called the number you gave me and talked to Guy. I said I was located in Houston and was wondering if Wheelexperts is an authorized dealer.
Guy told me to talk to Peter specifically at Wheelexperts.

Quit spreading false information. It's against the TOU and it's just sneaky.

Just a reminder -- to advertise on MBWorld you must be a current sponsor.

I have bought 3 sets of wheels from Peter for MBZ autos, 1 set HRE. If you want great service and a wealth of fitment knowledge, you can't go wrong.

Peter is the Man!

hmmmm, I think I smell a rats nest.

Good work, ricky. 30 days is a soft sentence.

I think I am going to get my wheels from Peter.
