keeping the wheels

 

I'd be careful kicking these wheels down the road in light of all the shenanigans with RTF.

RTF is confirmed to have received shipment of 1500 cast wheels from Korea and it appears from lab tests they were passing these off as forged when they were indeed cast from labs tests.

My wheels aren't cast...and quit crapping on my for sale thread.

 

Moto you had been part of the conversation and put these wheels up for sale after the rennlist fall out as you had bought "several pairs of wheels" and decided to sell these. There have been several failures with the RTF wheels cracking and even Garys report of Raz passing off cast wheels as forged per the lab tests. Its not fair to sell these to an unsuspecting member knowing all the issues both 6speed and Rennlist have had with this vendor.

 

I didn't put these wheels for sale AFTER the fall out. I put them up for sale when I realized I wanted to change the look of my car. I'm not selling because of issues with RTF. I'm selling because I have no room for and don't need TWO sets of wheels. If I wanted or could keep two sets, I'd GLADLY keep and run these.

Do you have ANY proof of when I bought these wheels and if these wheels here are cast? No you don't. Also, they're light as hell, lighter than any cast wheel would be.

 

Yes here is the lab test of the RTF's forged wheels, which when tested came back as cast. The same style when you are selling BTW. Go to the thread as well with the confirmed shipping order for 1500 cast wheels from Korea.

 

Thanks...I already saw that. Again, you have NO proof that MY wheels are cast...and you're still thread crapping.


KEEPING THE WHEELS

 

It is not a personal knock. The vendor has a black eye and you bought product that is known to be subpar. Get your wheels tested then, attach the results of the lab test and sell with confidence. If not the exact same RTF wheels have 4 track failures and a set that Gary has lab tested have been proven to not be forged wheels.

More than likely you got taken by Raz for cast wheels that were machined and finished under the assumption they were forged, period.

Glad you are keeping and another member is not getting screwed.

 

I think there is a difference between bringing potential issues to light and "thread crapping". It sounds like there is a serious potential safety problem that these wheels could have besides possibly being misrepresented as forged. Results of the lab strength test are alarming and buyers should be cautious with these.

 

Wheels aren't for sale. Thank you.
