Yep. That kudos I gave earlier has flown the coop.

Based on some of the posts the SimonLam incident seems to be a little up in the air, but one thing you can't argue with is pictures. Even if the warranty covers a refinish on the wheels, peels like that, will it happen again in 9 months or less?

Something obviously not right here, let's see how the layers get peeled back. Did I make a funny?

+1 Just the aggravation of sending them to get refinished and being without wheels is more of a pain in the *** then it's worth. No way wheels that cost that much should ever look like that even after 5 years.

Good luck
Mr. Bling in now way has any % ownership whatsoever. He and Big Bird have just as much ownership interest. He is off doing another venture from what I have heard. So the answer is NO, he will not be skiing with anyone deposits, at least from a Forged Distributing product perspective.

Do you care to address the CLS thread referenced earlier? That CLS owner, forum member, and 360 forged customer apparently needs some care and attention. Look forward to his "Forged DST resolved all of my issues!" post/thread.

+1

I am not interested in these wheels or this company with QC problems AND potential customer service issues on warranty replacements for bad quality coatings.

The CLS wheel issue should be resolved publicly as part of the "saving face" campaign you're on. It will only help your cause to strengthen the Forged name if the CLS owner is taken care of with wheels that actually last this time.

I love the looks of the wheels but geez...issues.

Gotta love the laws around here. You get in too deep, you simply switch names.

Maybe it wasn't Mr. Bling that was bringing the company down?
