Wood wheel parts recently ordered - very poor quality
I recently acquired an original wood wheel. Had a good phone transaction and the parts arrived quickly. I ordered basically everything but the wheel itself. One of the parts I ordered was a "collar" for $36 which goes on the underside of the wheel. In order to get this to fit properly, I of course had to modify it. With the wheel bolted up, the collar made contact with the wheel and the column. The screw holes do not line up either so the collar has a "bulge" in it. This part is the biggest chinese POS I've ever seen.
OF course, now that I've modified it it is not returnable and is well suited for my garbage can - where it BELONGS. The other parts I ordered were barely acceptable. The metal piece holding the Pontiac emblem is also chinese junk. After taking it off a couple times I can tell that the tangs that hold this thing on are gonna fall off. Very frustrating to waste money.
