I hope you guys don't mind me posting to this old post but I to have had problems with Victoria Tire. This post shows up really well in a google search. So I figured I add my experience as it might save someone the trouble we went through with these clowns.
I purchased a set of RPM chrome wells for my eclipse spyder from these guys because the price ($800.00) seemed pretty good. Well 1 month later when the wells starting rusting I gave ya boy Quincy an email and another and another without a reply. So I tracked down there phone # and after several attempts, finally got him on the phone. I explained to him my problem and the fact that the car is garage kept and rarely driven. He was like, "send them in and we'll take a look at them and if they are in fact rusting, we will replace them." I said cool and sent them back with the tires on them rather then going through the expense of removing the 18's as per his instructions. So about a dozen calls later I got him on the phone.
He said man that wasn't rust but rather spots from brake dust. I said ok? He said he would send me pictures and after another 10 or so emails. "Where's my pictures?" He finally emailed them to me. Well, the rims looked great in the pictures, so I said send them back then. Oh i forgot to mention he now had my rims tires and cash going on 3 months and was afraid I'd never see them again judging by the essay's that answer the phone over there. The tires were bought locally so I was starting to freak to say the least, but I kept a cool head as to not screw myself by angering him. So finally I get an email from him saying, " your rims are on the way." I was like Cool!!! Finally!!!
Well, sure enough a few days later the Brown truck blew the horn out front. I go outside and to my surprise the driver was wanting $230.00 for the C.O.D packages. I was like, "WHAT!!!!" :cursin: So needless to say I didn't have the cash on me, so I had to run to the ATM and then track down the driver on his lunch break. So, I get the rims home and unpack them and about blew a gasket when I noticed that there magical cure to the rust problem was to rub turtle wax on them and buff it out. I mean there was still traces of it on the back side of the rims. I was like OMFG!!!! :cursin: These freakin con artists!!!
Well, it's not I was going to send them back because as it stood these rims were up to over a $1000 when you figure in the shipping both ways.
So I'm pretty much stuck with them........
So you guys may want to think twice before giving Victoria Tire any of your hard earned cash....
Oh, I emailed RPM about the problem and had to get rude before they would even reply. Based in china, I think. They were just as bad as Victoria Tire..:down:
Thanks for letting me post my experiences with these Flakes....
When are they going to learn that car guys stick together no matter what were rollin in.
*For the slow people, it was rust as you can feel the pits*
Now this post can go back to the bottom and google will do the rest!
