QUOTE(jhadler @ Apr 30 2007, 10:40 AM)  Kodiak makes some really nice wheels, but they have delivery problems right now. I know of a couple people who ordered MONTHS ago, and have yet to get anything. And I also know of someone who wound up with fitment issues after recieving his wheels (not built to spec). It was for a DSR, so spacers and stuff were not an option, really messed with the begining of his season. If CCW or Fikse are the same price, I might think of going with them. CCW makes some really great wheels. -Josh2 Well, I wasn't in a big hurry for the wheels, but yeah, going into month 3 is starting to wear on me. Right at the point of doing a charge-back with my VISA card (they had no problem charging me immediately - that always seems to get done with the utmost haste) and telling them to pound sand. If they didn't have the look I wanted and weren't so light, I would have already done it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) One of those rock and a hard place things - I want 'em but kinda want to say screw them just on principal... |

These guys sure didn't get any good advertisement from this transaction. I will buy Diamond wheels again before Kodiaks. Thme guys in Milwaukee rock. I heard about the Keizers after I ordered, but I heard they are light. Apparently I should have spec'd .160" wheel halves for a race wheel - but I don't know WTF to spec, I like to race but I am no wheel pro. I told them they were for a race car and that I liked the fact they were supposed to be light. For them to use apparently thicker barrels was their choice, not mine. I suspect what happened is I heard rim halves are almost impossible to get right now, so they probably built mine with thicker halves cuz that was all they could find, then just didn't tell me. Just a bummer to find out my 16x10/11 are heavier than other guys 17x9.5 (a guy who helped me tremendously just to get them is a dealer and his were 16-16.5 lbs, so why mine are 17.5-18 is beyond me). The wheels themselves look awesome, and I would sorta be stuck with them anyway cuz I really like the 10-spoke design they carry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) In the end I am happy with the wheels, I just hate being lied to about lead-times. And I talked to the owner for awhile at week 12 and told him I wasn't going to bust his balls because I am more than familiar with supplier issues, CNC machine failures, etc with my own personal experiences. But at week 14 with no returned calls, that is when I get ticked off. Service in a whored-out industry like wheels is going to be the key divider. Diamonds were definitely on my list BTW but didn't have a pattern I was really happy with. They are awesome wheels too, tho'. |
