BE CAREFUL www.factorywheelsdirect.com

FYI- DO NOT buy from factorywheelsdirect.com

This is my experience...maybe yours would be better....


Just a heads up...these guys sell all kinds of replica Mustang, Camaro, and Lightning wheels... They have ads on Ebay and MM&FF magazine. BE CAREFULL BEFORE YOU DEAL WITH THEM!

I ordered a set of chrome Lightning 20's ($1260) over a month ago. They said they would ship right out. I waited 7-10 days and called to get tracking number...they would not return calls or emails.

Finally, a couple of days later I called and left a message as someone else requesting info on a set of wheels. They called right back. When I told them I wanted tracking info on my wheels they said that they had been back ordered but would ship the following day. I also sent them an email through ebay asking if the rims were in stock, and they said yes!

I waited another 10 days and nothing...again, they would not respond to emails or phone calls.


Finally, I just called my credit card company and filed a claim for the fraudulant charge.

Not extremely mad that they were back ordered...but the fact that they would NEVER return my calls or emails...meanwhile, the $1260 was sitting on my credit card incurring interest...

Now I have a set of 295-40-20 Kumhos sitting in my garage waiting for Santa to bring me some rims!!!

Phuq that company...

Hate people when they lie about shipping
All a customer ask's, is to be told the truth.

I'm kinda going through a simular situation now.
I sent a F-150 member some money for a couple of product's,
AND I STILL DON'T HAVE IT ???
WTF ???

Same here, I ended up going to the co. that makes the rims, they are local in San Bernadino Ca. They told me they would not send out product for these guys because they owe them money. They suck and are crooks, they overcharged me $80.00 and it took numerous phone calls to get them to send me a refund. I'm waiting to see if the check bounces. Total liars and losers.

Thumbs up

I second www.wheelreplicas.com. I ordered a set of non-chrom 20s a while back and was really pleased with the service and price.
