Angry Need a Credible Vendor 4 Axis wheels

Can anyone give me a lead as to a credible vendor who sells Axis wheels. I bought a set from Wheelstudio but they were jacked from the beginning with spot defect's and flaking and numerous scraps from mouting the rims on the tires. Also to top it off they tried to put it all on UPS...WTF!!!


Need help, I know Axis is a quality product it's the dealer in this case.


Thanks

My buddy just got a set of Axis Hiros, and I was very disapointed in the quality of the rim. The paint job they put on them was weak sauce and you could see defects in the paint. My buddy didn't seem to care, but my previous Enkeis and Konigs on other cars were better than the quality of the Axis wheels. But if you gotta have them I would find a local Discount Tire and get them there instead of ordering online.

i ordered mine from spyeng.com they are in san diego and i went down and even saw there store in person. they came a few days late, but they were packed really nice, the tires were dressed good, and no marks on the rim. all i had to do was mount them. they even had free shipping.

Wheelstudio is a bunch of idiots. They were banned from this forum.

If you want to save some money and time I would recommened going with RPM Revolution. Talk to a guy named Rush. He was telling me he has a wholesale account with Spyeng so he gets the prices from them even cheaper as it is.

I usually give them all of my business as well, just really reliable and good service.

i ordered from wheel studio and really had no problems... i guess i realize now that i was one of the lucky ones

my hiros showed up with no problems w/ the paint, clear coat or finish... if you guys are getting wheels that are NOT good quality, I would ask the vendors for a refund, because of seen two sets of hiros that I've seen in person they've been problem free and awesome quality

in fact one of my friends has a set of volk le37s and they're visually comparable to the hiros i've seen

(obviously someone will probably reply now and say how volks are better but that's my 2 cents)

wow...i wish i would have read this forum before buying from wheelstudio, although my experience was not that bad

the wheels arrived and were ok. some of the polish from my 20" mods was missing, but after the 285's were installed, you couldn't tell.

the problems started when i went to get them mounted. stupid me, i didn't have any lug nuts. i called back and had them send me a set of lugs. they were supposed to give me a key to use to get the lugs on, but they didn't. when i called, they said, oh, sorry, we don't have any and basically said they wouldn't ship me any.

Next, the lack of hub rims. I didn't know that the mods require hub rims, and they didnt' send me any. I called and they told me that they would send them out right away, but they didn't. 2 weeks out of the country and they are still not there. Now they are avoiding my calls and emails and are just plain pissing me off.

although the money is not that bad for the hub rims, it is the priciple that i paid for something and they did not send me what i paid for. i am thinking about taking out a domain of wheelstudiosucks.com and posting stories of people who had a horrible experience with them.

I forgot to mention they didn't send my lug's as well. Oh yeah they tried to blame that on UPS also. If anyone read's this post...PLEASE DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WHEELSTUDIO...or who ever they claim to be. There are so many other good choices out there.
