American Racing Wheels Wheel Pros These wheels started rusting after 2 years and now after 5 years look pathetic. Internet
Report Attachments
I purchased American Racing's Sniper Wheels on 7-13-04 and paid $176.19 each. After two years, they started to rust and now look rather pathetic. I used these rims only during the summer months and my original Camaro wheels during the winter months, so these rims never saw salt. I also regularly polished them with Mother's chrome polish, but can no longer polish the insides of the rims because the rust is so bad that any rag I use woukd be shredded. This year the rust has gotten extremely bad on the insides of the rims. I contacted them about this is their response:
Joseph,
Our products do carry a 2 year chrome warranty from the time of purchase on the type of finish you have. Unfortunately we are well beyond this at present time. These are aluminum wheels and they do not rust, you may try using a chrome polish like American Racing chrome tech to remove any blemishes that you see.
The face of the wheel appears to be in good shape. But salt and brake dust will build up on the inner barrel and cause pitting if they are not properly maintained.
Thanks,
Eric
I would strongly suggest staying away from their products if they are only good for two years. I had (((competitor's name redacted))) last over 15 years when I sold the car they were on and they were as good as new.
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company, ..plus, if you post a competitors name more than likely they will show up on search engines as a Rip-off! - - your comments on this policy are welcome. CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report. In this case we removed an alleged competitors name
