Stockton Wheel gave me the run around more than any company I have ever dealt with.

I am building a 63 SD Tempest replica. I wanted plain steels all the way around. I ordered 8" wide wheels for the rear so I could measure the width so that I could order my rear end. At this point it all went down hill.

I made the mistake of telling them they were for a 63 Tempest. I ordered 5x4.5 bolt spacing because that is what the early tempests use. When I received my wheels they were 5x4.75. I called and dealt with a gentleman that hemmed and hawed until an older person took the phone and starting yelling at me about "no tempest ever had the bolt spacing you ordered". "I changed that order in production because you ordered them wrong." I owned a new one so I should know..."

I am tired of typing and could type forever on this. Long story short It took many heated arguments and 8 months to get it fixed.

Stocktons quality is very good. However, be ready to get the run around and lied to.
