Just wanted to let everyone else know of my experience with them so you do not get screwed like I did....

First: I purchsed one of the first sets of 19" PS2's in the country (I believe it was the second set sold in the US) from Alex Vega @ TWC in I believe April or May. About 500 miles after driving on these tires (to and from work a couple times and one time back and forth to Miami) I noticed that all four tires had bubbles on them!! I took the car to Good Roads in Ft. Lauderdale (awesome guys over there) where they took one off to check for damage inside the tires... Well there was NONE, and they told me it was 100% manufactures defect and that Michelin will cover them no problem. Well there was a problem, I had to take them back to TWC to have them warrentied. Alex told me it would be 3 weeks TOPS for them to do this... Well 5 months later I still don't have new tires and he is claiming they denied the claims saying the tires had too many miles on them (THEY ONLY HAD 500!!!!). The reason TWC SUCKS: I know this is BS and is his way of recouping the money for the set I won at the raffle at the Boca Event (see story 2) I think they got my warranty set in and sold them to make up for the set they gave away for free.

Second: I won the raffle at the Boca Event for a free set of 19" PS2's to be provided by TWC. It took 3 months of calling, begging, and pleading (with not ONE call back) for my tires to finally get them sent up to me!! Thats not even the worst part, the worst is that they came along WITH A BILL FOR $1500!!!!! I took the tires from the truck, told they guy I refuse to pay for them and to tell Alex that!! I get a call from Alex telling me he had to charge me as Michelin did not authorize the free set for the auction so he would get stuck with the bill!!! NOT MY FAULT!! They should have never auctioned them off then!! So now I basically have the set that I paid for (the warranty ones) and never really got my auction set. So Boca event people, be glad you didn't win, and know that the $10 you paid for the auction was a scam and they kept that money and never paid out the tires!!!!

This is my rant, please, please, please do not do business with this clown (Alex) or Tire and Wheel Choices. They are liars and crooks.

This guy Alex is Xico's friend right ? I called an Alex a few weeks back for a set of tires and never got a call back myself

 

This forum is powerful... be legit or we will make you quit..

 

Yes its Xico's buddy, he is the one that got me the original set. I have a feeling since Xico and I's falling out he hasn't been helping my case with Alex and maybe telling him not to help me...
Either way, TWC is a piece of garbage and I want everyone to know it!!

Hence, resorting to the good service at Wheels Boutique or via mail order - WHeel Experts.

 

I used Wheels Boutique a few weeks ago for new tires on my Jag. They guys over there were great. They got the tires for me the next day at a reasonable price and installed them in 30 minutes. You can't beat that.

Oh, and I learned that they do all the wheels for The Collection, which was news to me.

I'd recommend giving them a try.

 

Evan,

One word: unbelievable. If what you're saying is true, screw 'em. The only problem is that if you bad mouth him in the Fla area, he might do the same.

I hate the run around

 

Evan - ever use Ernies?

 

We (FVD) have used him when we get a set of stockers in to get rid of um or somthing, but never to buy tires... I have a good source for them now, not as good of a deal as TWC, but I would rather pay for good service than get them cheap!!
Evan
PS-I can assure you guys this is all true!! Also, yes I have always heard good things about Wheels B. and wish I knew this was going to happen, I would have used them. I believe Ben there actually offered to help with this situation at one point, but TWC had already "sent the tires to Michelin".

 

thanks shank

 

For tires go to Tirerack, they are awesome.

I just ordered 8 x 315/30/18 Corsas for the rear of my GT2 one week ago and they arrived at my house in England yesterday, Fedex'd by plane across the Atlantic from Indiana.

Totally professional firm to deal with, great people and an amazing service, even covering the issues of international payment and despatch with ease.

some times you get what you pay for up by us try orbit racing or rentech for good service
