Since this sort of thing seems to happen more and more often to more and more of these upstart "quality" wheel companies out there, I wonder if the market will swing back toward people buying wheels that they KNOW are of high quality even if they cost a little bit more?

Literally anyone with a dollar and a dream can start a wheel company. It's not hard at all to come up with a few cool designs, get fully financed on your operating capital by getting a bunch of suckers, err "customers" to prepay thousands of dollars in full for a set of wheels by telling them they'll be ready in 4 to 6 weeks (who even believes that anymore?), send some drawings off to China where the vast majority of them are produced, have a smooth talker to calm irate customers down by feeding them lies while the crappy wheels are being machined and getting a 2 month boat ride to the states, make money hand over fist on an overpriced cheaply made product that looks shiny, profit.

When you get blown up in the import community by one of your suckers, I mean customers, that gets pissed when they fall apart and you don't stand behind them, you just disappear and pay a few hundred bucks to for a different LLC and get another business license in another name and do it all over again. Sound familiar? And yet people keep falling for it.

Has anyone ever heard of anything remotely happening like this with Work wheels? Rays? Advan? BBE? etc? Why wouldn't people just spend a few hundred bucks more and know what they are getting form a company they have heard of before last year?

My point for all those new to the import community who don't know any better is, you usually get what you pay for. Quality isn't cheap. And a company that has been in business successfully for 25 years is a much safer bet than one that's been open since 2010.

After rereading my rant, I want to make it clear that I'm sympathetic to the guys in the thread who are having issues, not mad at them. I'm mad at the jerks who establish these fly by night wheel companies and then bail with people's money but my point is that if there weren't an eager market of consumers lined up to make them rich they would go away and the quality companies could make a buck and keep producing quality products and standing behind them.

See paragraph 2 and 3 of post #19. Post a thread there warning members of their BS and linking to this thread and others you've found where they have screwed buyers. Watch them start to dance like a cat on a hot tin roof.
