0 Feedback, no wheels sold.

How would they make the wheels?

Would the wheels require ridiculous amounts of balancing due to being made by amatuers?

Do the wheels actually look any good?

Discuss.

I like them but like yourself would be hesitant in commiting to a purchase until id seen some positive feedback on there.

[Jack3559]

I'm just slightly confused as to how this bloke managed to produce 200 wheels.

I'd love to know how they're made - I'm a bit concerned that they're just banded steels.

Could be rejects or faulty stock, I would not be happy until they have some feedback.

Nice wheels though!!

"Hi Jack,

Thanks for the question.

We get them made in China by a Steel wheel manufacturer that makes wheels for all sorts of cars and has been for years. They are made using good quality steel and are structurally very strong. We also specifically asked for longer welds joining the centre with the rim than normal steel wheels to ensure we had the best strength possible.

The chrome is tested to 500 hours salt water washing to ensure they dont corrode too easilly. They are currently DOT certified and in the near future we will apply for TUV approval too. However they are fully certified for UK.

As with any chrome we cannot guarantee that it will not rust if not looked after, they will need to be kept fairly clean and occasionally polished. However I am sure they will last a very long time.

Kind Regards,
Oliver

The fact the outer rims are chromed suggests they're not banded steels?  The people I've known to do banded steels said that although possible would be really very expensive.  The price is fairly competitive so they're either genuine or super dodgy... Haha.

I do really like them though, but the lack of feedback and such is a worry.  I'd buy them but I'd want to go up there, physically see the wheels and any documentation first.  If he's genuine I'm sure he wouldn't mind accommodating.

They look awesome!

People have to start somewhere!


Bit worrying though as they dont have their own website.
