Default Weld Racing wheels are a joke

I've had two dealings with Weld Racing wheels over the last 6 months and man they are f**king joke. First time I called and ordered some rims, not a custom deal but standard 15x10 5x4.5. They said they would ship in 2 weeks. 3 months later the wheels finally get here after I already purchased another set of another vendor. I called 2 weeks ago to get some of the billet center caps that are used on the 17" alumastars. The rep said they would ship by wednesday and I'd have them on friday(last week). Well a week late I decide to call and guess what...they were never shipped. The sales rep I talked to today said they are on backorder and can take 1-3 months.

Your 100% correct who do you call when they are out of stock? Summit told me to call Weld.

I'm tired of my over priced alumastars, I am going to get the new greg weld dragstars, 15x3.5 and 15x12 for 550.00 for the set.

That's cheaper than the two rear 15x12 alumastars I was going to get

Sorry about the bad news phil, BTW why can't companies these days just make the **** and deliver...... I got all my parts on time when bill clinton was president, must be that damn bush
