i'm sure the ultra high-end wheels have 0 to very few problems, i.e. Fikse, IForged, CCW, etc...providing that the customer gives correct info and measurements when ordering them

Have had no issues with my Fikses . . . .

One of the Chrome Z06 wheels I sold quite a few years ago from AAA Rims to MadIce cracked, and they wouldn't replace it . . .

I guess everybody's heard by now that American Racing Wheels has been bought out by an acquisition outfit that buys up other companies , fires most of the old employees, cuts quality control to the bone, then sells the product at cut-rate prices, and finally sells the company at a profit.
