THIS IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT I FOUND AGAINST USA WHEELS http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?p=37023737 01-09-2009, 06:46 AM #1 orangebarius Junior Member Trader Rating: (0) My Garage Posts: 527 USA Wheels in Fairfield, NJ = Terrible so i had my blitz type 01 rims refinished at usa wheels in july 2008. they did a good job with reclearing the barrels, welding a crack and fixing a bent lip. so i take my wheels off in nov to store them for the winter. i notice a crack exactly where they welded it. so i take it back with the tire on to show them i didnt hit a pothole or have any bubbles in my tires. they say welds arent warrentied, but they will reweld it for $80. i say ok fine. so they weld it. when i went to pick it up they had cracked the clear coat around the whole lip when they removed the tire. i noticed it and said what is this? then apparently didnt notice cracked clear coat around the entire lip of the rim. so they have to reclear it. so i got back a week later to pick it up with a new clear coat on it. its messed up once again. they got loctite on the lip of the rim. so they have to reclear it again. i go to pick it up yesterday and it looks good and he didnt charge me. ok so i get home and check the screws and one is loose. ok whatever, ill tighten it myself. i cant since it is glued on. apparently they broke 3 screws and glued them on. wtf is that? since when is glue acceptable on a rim? so i was beyond pissed. i went back over there and expressed my displeasure. the guy Matt is very nice and has been helpful through this whole ordeal. THE OWNER JEFF IS A DICKHEAD. he was in the back and wouldnt even come out and confront the problem. his answer was, "im not the one who cracked the rim." so my response was, "im not the one who broke my screws." apparently he knew about the broken screws and called blitz to get new ones. its a 10+yr old rim, so they dont have them. so matt is going to look into find me some new screws. he says he knows a few websites. DO NOT GO TO USA WHEELS EVER. THEY SUCK. THEY ARE SLOPPY AND DONT CARE. THEY HAD SOME PART TIME KID WORK ON MY RIM WHO IS KNOWN TO MESS UP A LOT. WHY DOES HE STILL WORK THERE????
