Okay guys i figure i would keep this thread pretty civil but seems like a lot of people are actually slowly coming out and having issues and other stuff, now with that being said... I guess i can kinda burst the bubble and go out of a limb here... This doesn't go for all the companies but most "forged" companies will actually mill or machine their wheels in China and get them shipped over to the US. As long as 51% of the process gets done on US soil they can stamp it "Made in USA" blah blah blah. There will be some skeptics that will say im a liar and etc but i will dig up the thread from another forum.

Bringing our name to the forums that is caused by poor maintenance and poor install is very childish. Shame on you!
To ISSForged, I see you cannot seal wheels properly. Please let me kindly know if you would like me to make you a Youtube tutorial video.


And as promised... rep wheels and milled wheels and other useless wheel junk... LONG READ

There was a lot of blame being thrown on my side on all the problems that mr Oemplus mentioned. It took about a month for me to get my wheels back but luckly the ups store did all the work. Its funny how they tried to slap on the original invoice in so I would be charged 35% duties and taxes agian. But from all that, all i can say is i will never consider another set, or recommend these to anyone i know in the future and thats why I dont post much pics of my car, so they can't use it to promote their wheels.

Enclosed are "promised" pics from prior to me disassembling them. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

The chrome peeling on the backside and a "decent" sealed wheel


More chrome peel


Heres a good one for you, this is the "re-sealed" wheel, can anyone spot any sign of silicone or sealant ?


barrels sealed by ISS directly, yet why is there no silicone or sealant on the inner part


So called "resealed" wheel by another company...


Prepped from proper re-seal

Wow, extremely dissapointed to see something like this happen. It is a shame that you are treated like that after spending so much money. They pictures speak for themselves and I wish you the best of luck.
