my one piece wheels aren,t welded together & they do have SFI stickers on them. sounds like they might have lied again :roll: :x

I think they just sent em to get me off their case...

They also had a couple dull places on em that I had to buff up with
" mother'"s not to mention a couple pieces of weld spatter but it came off pretty easy. I should send em back but I don't want to wait another 2 months... :?

I am gona call tomorrow and ask about the sfi

TODD---A ONE PIECE WHEEL IS JUST THAT[ONE PIECE]

I HOPE YOU GET YOUR BACK WHEELS AND THEY LOOK GREAT SO WE CAN FINALLY SEE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOOD LUCK AND DON'T GIVE UP[ SOMETIME THEY WILL COME :D :D]

Hmmm.cast..billet ..modular.Is it just me or does not make sense at all.If it's cast how could it be billet?If it's modular how could it be one piece?I'm confused :shock:

What would you guys do? Would you

A) CAll and bitch and send them back and tell them I want ther one piece wheels( probably make me pay shipping which is 25 per wheel...probably make me pay both ways..)

B) Keep them but call and bitch

C) Keep them and say nothing

I know what they are gona say..they will say that they were not originally advertised as 1 piece...and that they sent them because I didn't want to wait any longer for the 1 piece.... but I know that the day I ordered them their web site said 1 piece rotary forged, SF 15.1 Approved wheel and before I paid I asked how long to get them and they said 2 weeks to build them and 3-5 days to ship.

Should I demand that they send some sfi stickers for them? They never check for that but that isn't the point.

I will try and take a pic of em and put it up.


this part REALLY pisses me off
build date "4-22-08"

YOU HAVE BEEN HAD!!!!

IT IS TIME TO STAND UP AND COMPLAIN AND DEMAND FULL REFUNDS AND THEY CAN PAY THE SHIPPING :roll: :roll:

THEY LIED ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND SENT YOU SUBSTITUTES :oops: :oops:

I DO NOT AND NEVER HAVE TRUSTED PEOPLE THAT START CHANGING THEIR FACTS ABOUT YOUR ORDER WHEN YOU ??? THINGS!!

THE BUILD DATE IS WHAT SHOWS THEY ARE LIEING :oops: [BUSTED]
GOOD LUCK --LIVELY

If it were I .. I would send them back then call my credit card company and cancel the payment !!! What total BS you got the run around then get a cheap wheel instead of the 1 peiece you paid for. No doubt take the bullet on the shipping

RIMS
 

When I bought my 16 x 16 centerlines for my digger, UPS delivered and as soon as UPS left, I opened 1 and it had damage on the back side like it gets from being on a tire machine. I caught the UPS truck within 5 minutes and had him note the time. There was absolutly no damage to the box.I called Mc Cormack racing, where they were ordered and were picked up. Waited 2 weeks and Centerline returned me the same BENT rim just like it was, and the best part they charged UPS for damaging it. I beat it straight and used it, some times you just cant win. :(

These wheels look nice, and I wouldn't have so much of a problem with them not being 1 piece had they not been advertised as such...and especially after them using it as an excuse. I called and left a polite voicemail a few minutes ago explaining my displeasure and asked him to call me back. I am not gona fork over another 100 bucks in shipping to exchange them..25 per wheel each way. BUT I will file a complaint with BBB , not that it will help. :?


Paid with cash via debit card so can't charge it back...and besides I don't really want my money back, all I want is what I paid for. I don't think Iam being unreasonable..it has been 9 weeks.

Well I just talked to CENTERLINE...sorry such a long post.

The first guy I called was the boss...got his voicemail and it was full...so the second guy I got was the customer service/ sales guy who tried to tell me that the welded together wheel was just as strong as the one piece ( :lol: ) and that they were making them both ways...
this is the same salesman that sold them to me and told me two weeks...also the same one who kept giving me the run around and saying "another week to week and a half".

Well he said just what I knew he would say...that they were originally advertised as modular construction. I said NO SIR.. :roll:

Then when I asked him about the sfi stickers he said "You don't need them" I said "How ya figure I don't need em?"
He said that CENTERLINE is so well known in the racing industry that they didn't have to put the stickers on that people would know they were good wheels.
I said "WELD WHEELS puts em on theirs." He said weld just did that because they wanted to...it wasn't needed.
he then said he would patch me through to his boss..I stopped him and said he was not there I just called him...he said that he was at his desk at that moment so he put me through to him.
That guy was very polite with his lies...and he even said that they were making them both ways but that they did indeed advertise them originally as a one piece wheel..( proof that salesman is a liar) said he sent the others cause they had em already and because I had waited so long .(translation = he wanted me off his ass :P ) Said they were built in April but since I was having to wait on the 14's anyway he had em hold my order and figured by the time 14's were done they would have the 1 piece wheels for the front and I would get those because they are better.

But he immediately told me to box em back up and he would have UPS pick em back up no charge to me and the one piece would be sent out as soon as they were finished...probably tomorrow or Monday and the 14's sometime next week that they were working on them(where have I heard that one before?)
I asked about SFI stickers and he said they only put em on if requested because most people don't actually need them (true) but he would send them with the wheels.

we will see.

AND THE CLOCK TICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

LIVELY

Lively...Are you suggesting that I might NOT get the wheels next week ? Why would you think that?

:lol:

Man,this is just ridiculous!!They are pretty wheels,though.

It is ridiculous...and the stupid thing is , when I call, they act like I am being a pest. :shock:

I almost hate to send em back cause who knows when I will get the others.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Love the caveman pic!!!HAHAHAHAHA :lol: :lol:

Once they come get them go to your bank file a dispute and get your money back and go somewhere else. I feel you will get the run around again for another month.


Doing the dispute isnt that hard really, I understand you want the rims but at what point do you say enough is enough ??

they are gone...ups picked em up today.

Has anyone ever filed a complaint with Better business Bureau? what is involved? They really should be made to remove this wheel from their catalog if they have this much trouble making it.

I agree something needs to be done, I cant bieleve they dont have some made and on hand for different setups. I'd of been asking if they were making them by hand :D

I know the bank deal is easy if you do want you money back, my girlfriend works at a bank she said its very easy the bank would take care of everything after you go in there.

I will give em a little more time...not cause they deserve it, but because I want those wheels. The only other wheels with a 5 " backspace are the Magnums and Alumastars that I have found...nothing else will fit and I can't afford 400+ per wheel. Besides...after my parents flood damage all my free time is helping them so no time to run in the near future anyway. Working over there every weekend.

OFF THE HOOK kooooL. damn they look goooood

Got my 1 piece wheels today...they must have 2nd day aired em or something cause I just talked to them thursday night and he said they would go out Monday...anyway they are a MUCH nicer wheel than the first set they sent. Better finish, no tool marks etc.

Only thing is they are heavy. The 3 piece wheel they sent was 10. lbs(that's what they advertised) and these are close to 13 lbs..best I can measure with a bathroom scale.. I know That is pretty hvy for a 4" wide wheel but oh well..it's a bracket car and I am glad I sent the others back.

when are they going to chisle out the rears? :shock: today :roll:

week, week and a half.


:lol:

3 WEEEKS 4 WEEKS --WHO KNOWS -JUST GET THE WHEELS HERE BEFORE THE SEASON ENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:


BY THE WAY NICE LOOKING WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!!

LIVELY

THE one piece look better than the ones pictured...those are the ones that went back.

UPDATE: called them again today

Latest Lie

" Since this is a new wheel we had to put it through a bunch of testing...and we just got finished today and they passed...so they will be shipping them next Friday."

What a coincidence...it just so happens on the very day I call that they just finished up the testing that day!! :D

:lol: In all honesty this is really starting to get amusing...I almost look fwd to calling them to see what that guy says each time.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Man Tod,you sound like you got the same luck as me.Seems I got a way of bringing out the "best" in folks. :lol:

New wheels
 

You're right, 13 lbs. seems pretty heavy. But if you are bracket racing , it is not a major issue. Great looking wheels. Hope the rears arrive soon.

hey tod don't hate them cause they are R&Ding your wheels so you will be safe when you get out of the retirementhome to drive your car. :shock: :lol:

Still no wheels.


CALLED today they are finished finally!! He said they would ship today. It's about freaking time.

I finally got my rear wheels today. I am not too happy with them.They look okay but not for a brand new wheel. There are visible machine marks in the aluminum like what you would expect to see from something turned on a lathe if that makes sense... and they are very wavey. If you run your hand around the inside of the wheel (the dished part that is polished where the valve stem hole is) it is very wavey. It makes the wheel look like it has dents in it. You can see it 8 feet away.I called to tell them and was basically told tough shit, in so many words.I started the call calm and polite but ended up furious after about 10 minutes of this guy's attitude.The dude was very rude and made it sound like I was impossible to please. First he said that any wheel 14 inches wide will look that way nothing they can do about it...He told me I could send them back but I would have to wait probably 3 or 4 weeks for replacements, and there was no gaurentee the new ones would be any better.He went on to say they could even be worse.I said " so basically you are telling me that Centerline wheels can't make a 14 inch wide wheel that does not look like it has been hit with a ball pien hammer?" he said "Don't know what to tell ya.." I told him I guess I will be finding out who I need to talk to about this company and their business ptractices and he said "Do what you got to do buddy...I can't stop you from running your mouth...without seeing them myself I can't say..but apparently nothing is going to live up to your standards." I also told him they were marked production date June 18...he then told me the garbage about testing and what not...

I finally hung up on him. I aint sending them back I am tired of their crap...but I will publically bash them( with completely accurate, facts only) to anyone who will listen.

p.s. Also no SFI stickers either,which I requested two seperate times.



Rant over...lol

Man that sux!No pics of those beauties?? :lol: :lol: Figured you'd be chomping at the bit to show 'em off. :lol: :lol:

I'd be making a call to the BBB !! You are a lot better about it then me, I'd cancel payment send them back and tell to them to stick it up there rear. Bad deal all around !

That was what I meant by talking to someone else about their business practices.

I will as soon as they get mounted..just got em this afternoon and I work nights....They can't even box stuff right...They sent the right wheels but The boxes are labled "4.5 Bolt circle 4.5 back space...I saw that and was fix'n to get upset before I opened them cause I ordered 4.75 BC with a 5" back space...so that had me worried until I measured them.

they will actually look good on the car because they are so deep and the reflection of the center on the rim sorta hides it but look at them for a minute then you see it...one in particular has a place that looks just like a couple of dings in it like you would get if you smacked it with a ball ping hammer. They are only wavey for about the first 2 inches from the bead and that is where you see the tooling marks..the rest of the rim looks good. had I not been given the 4 month run around I would not be as upset...also wouldn't have gotten so pissed had I not been treated like an idiot...

This was the same guy that I talked to at first when I got the 1st set of front wheels..he was telling me the 3 piece welded up wheel was just as strong as the 1 piece. :roll:

After I hung up on the dude he started calling my cell phone but I didn't answer..he left a voice mail that his boss was out of town and he would have him call me. I am gona tell that guy that I want my SFI stickers so I can cover up the dents. :lol: and I also want the center caps that were advertised to come with them but did not.( yes I know nobody uses centers on the back, and I won't either cause these pop in from the front ... but I am gona bitch about it anyway just to be a butt hole) :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

todd----i would get very!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!UPSET if i was treated like you have been on these wheels

i am glad you finally got them --but-- i would still go after them to the BETTER BUSINESS PEOPLE- JUST TO MAKE THEM NOTICE YOU!!!

LIVELY
