Consumer Description

MY RIMS ARE TWO-PIECE AND HAVE HAD 3 BENT RIMS AND 3 BLOWOUTS DUE TO THESE RIMS. THIS IS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THE GT TIRES ARE LOW-PROFILE. THESE RIMS ARE EASILY DENTED, THE CLEAR COATING PEELED OFF AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION AND HAVE HAD MEETINGS WITH JEFF NEY AT MAX MADSEN. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL BENT RIMS THAT I CAN FAX OR E-MAIL TO YOU AS WELL.*AK
