Let me start off by saying, B. Gorman wheels suck major A$$! There is a very good reason why this clown is no longer on this forum. I truely hate these fu*king wheels.

The chrome is peeling off, thet don't even hold air any more, the offsets were wrong to begin with and he sent the wrong size tires. These wheels are more of a head ache to deal with, than the head ache it was to get them from him. And it took 7 flippin months to get them. FAWK me!

This is the second set of tires in 6 months. And both sets still had 7/32 left but look how they died. And remember these are on the CLS550 not and the AMG. Plus it's my wife's car that she has the kids in.


The 2 rears and the horrible inner wear:





The front passenger wheel :





Now, I know about the negative camber on our cars, but this is not the case. Because the driver front is surprisingly in good shape with even tire wear. These wheels were poorly built and just flat out suck! And lets not forget, the chrome is peeling on 3 of them. And the offsets were so far off they stuck out about an inch. I couldn't even lower the car. It's not a flippin Honda. FAWK! I wish I never bought these wheels!

what happened to that guy? Sorry to hear. It always seemed like he was selling a lot of wheels?.. Never talked to him though so don't know how he conducted himself

Ya your not the first one to have troubles with this clown. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

Curious - what wheels are these?

Deffinetly a clown, B Gorman is. As Yoda would say.

RedBullJnky

Thanks Steve! He's the kind of guy that will hold his bible and preach to you so that you don't think less of him.
Ya I know. I should have been more hesitant. But tahnks!
Symbolic SL14 20/9 and 20/11 and a sorry a*s custom build.

Have you had the cars alignment checked? I had really bad wear as well but after an alignment the rears wore evenly (car was slammed as well). As for the fronts, do you (or the wife) drive in sport II? I noticed that with the CLS in sport II the inners would wear super fast even after the alignment.

justinwrock

Dang, these....?




^^Those came back when I googled the wheel LOL

RedBullJnky

Yes it had an alignment. It was more due to the fact that these wheels were loosing air. No cracks and tires were new with no holes or anythhing. Just a sh*tty build. Had no problem with my other set of 20's that are now back on the car. These wheels always wore dead even. Plus my wife does not drive in sport 1 or 2. She only drives in comfort since the kids are always in the car. And the driver front on the Gorman wheels was fine with no inner wear.

Elliot
You should have them redone at Wheels America in Hialeah
New Inner and out lips and make sure they arent losing air

or you can go with the Incurve set from my recent photoshoot with the E Cinco Cinco

RedBullJnky

FAWK NO! These


They are on their way. Jess don't like the conclave look, she likes deep lips.

Dude, that just sucks. This forum is full of guys that would help a guy out no matter what, and then there is the .1% that seem to prey on the other 99.9%s honesty and good nature. I almost pulled the trigger on a set of SL65 wheels from Mr. Gorman, but something made me not do it.

djrabbi

Good thing you didn't sell me those wheels or I would be *****ing you out haha!

I actually spoke to Bill a while back about getting wheels done but heard all these horror stories but then again, I know where he lives so I can always go knocking

RedBullJnky

Knock on his fu*king head for me then!

Evolved8

Replacement plans?

RedBullJnky

Already have another set of 20s on there.

ssonss1

ahh ****ty deal then. Time to find Gorman

in case you need tires or wheels you forgot about me and DT performance.I can get any wheel and or tire ,with my discount it will only cost an arm,,, not the arm and a leg. jim

+1000000000 that fool robbed me and I cant wait to get rid of the wheels I bought from him. My wheel build wasn't bad but the experience was a nightmare. I would trade my $3700 Vellanos for a coke and a smile just to forget about B. Gorman.
