That stinks, but I would call AM or shoot AMChrisYoung a message on the forums, I am sure they will do whatever they can to make it right.

You did, some guy had this exact same problem a week ago.

I still say their outsourced wheels folks need a 'tune up', as I had wheels issues too.. AM always takes care of things, but it's still a time-consuming issue for the buyer.

That's not good at all. I hope everything gets taken care of. AM has a good reputation but I will be holding off on buying wheels until I find out what the issue is.

Wow...I'd be pissed too. Hopefully Chris will chime in. He'll take care of it.

I'm pretty sure this is the same guy. That's what makes it so unfortunate.

Yes, AmMuscle is taking care of it, the customer service is good, no complains there, but I'm wondering why this happened twice, who does their work and about the quality of the products. I'm ending up returning the replacements all together.
I thought about Omega GodSpeed wheels till I saw this:

Right now I'm looking at TireRack for wheels at least they got ones made in USA there or at least Germany or Japan.

I don't know if these guys have the wheels you want but I bought my wheels and tires from them and didn't have any problems. They shipped the wheels and tires mounted and balanced wrapped in plastic and double boxed each individual wheel. They arrived at my door in perfect condition. Very nice people to work with.

Here's their address and phone in case you want to look in to it.

one of my rims came with only 4 holes drilled so to save the cost of shipping/hassle (Canada) I had it drilled out locally

Hope you can get everything resolved! I know the frustration, I had a bad wheel from CJPonyParts a few years back that was out-of-round. They exchanged it, although I had to pay more shipping :/

It's a shame these days when you can drop hundreds of dollars, even into the thousands range, and still have to worry about the quality and integrity of your product
