Thumbs down Centrline Rims Suck

I got some centerline rims in the end of March. Went to have my tires rotated today, three out of the 4 rims are out of round. While they were off the truck I looked at them closely, man what terrible welds.
Anyone else have simmilar problems?

Man I'm glad I didn't get them! I had a terrible time locating wheels in the first place and the local shops said they were on limited production and hard to get!Even tried to contact Center-Line directly(do not try this!)
I hope you have good luck locating replacments (or a good wheel repair shop). I give my Welds high praise, just in case you decide to change.

Cool

Well check this out. I'm going to get a set of CenterLine wheels for FREE! My father works for the Centerline company in SantaFe Springs, CA. I think he able to get a set of rims like once every 18 months or something. But anyway, I don't know whether to get the Style 76 Champ 800 or the Style 52 Comet III's.

Don C, what model of wheels from centerline did you have? Curious.

The chrome job on my Centerlines is very poor. We went through 12 wheels to get 4, and they are poor. I really like the look of the wheel and just had to have them, but don't look to close! At least, they are round.

I would not recommend Centerlines to anyone.

after further examination, by a differnt tire shop, it turned out only one is out of round.Once winter arrives, I will send it back to centerline.
I have the Sabers, they look cool but the quality is not the best.
good luck
Don

hey i've got to say i really like my centerlines, i have the thrusters, sorry to hear you had a bad expireince with your wheels. i have colorado customs for my other truck and when i recieved them the 2 front wheels were out of round, they paid all shipping and corrected the problem, class people. i would think that centerline would be that helpful also. here are a couple pics with my centerline wheels. http://www.zing.com/album/?id=4293754633
