Summit/Wheel Vintiques Quality Control Please!!!
Well, I decided to order a set of Wheel Vintiques Rally II's for my car a few weeks ago through Summit Racing. They arrived in two days, looked good and had new tires mounted. After one night, the right rear and the left front were flat. Took them back to the tire shop to check them out. Well, both rims had tiny holes in the bead weld. Kind of a needle in a haystack, so I called Summit and they sent replacements. One of the replacements had been previously mounted and wobbled horribly on the balancer W/O a tire on it! I called and they over-nighted a replacement. All was well, or so I thought. this morning the passenger front was very low on air. Took it in, and sure enough it had a VERY tiny hole in the bead weld of the rim. Are you kidding me? The price through Summit is much cheaper than buying direct from Wheel Vintiques which leads me to believe they might be getting seconds? I can't believe that with any sort of quality control that I could end up with four wheels that you can't even use for boat anchors!
Anyone else have any similar issues with Wheel Vintiques wheels?????:censored:
