A cautionary tale:
I follow a very talented Porsche engine builder on Instagram, cool guy who always goes the extra mile on his builds- in short, someone who's opinion on automotive related quality I would trust without question. A few months back, he purchased the 1552 "outlaw" wheels for his personal 911. He was less than blown away with the build quality of the wheels, and mentioned that he was disappointed with them on his Instagram account. Within the day, Brad from 1552 and his legal team had threatened to sue unless the comments were removed. I will never patronize a business who cannot handle criticism from someone who invested in their product, going so far as to threaten to sue over a social media post. I expect to hear from Brads legal team shortly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/finger.gif) |

A cautionary tale: I follow a very talented Porsche engine builder on Instagram, cool guy who always goes the extra mile on his builds- in short, someone who's opinion on automotive related quality I would trust without question. A few months back, he purchased the 1552 "outlaw" wheels for his personal 911. He was less than blown away with the build quality of the wheels, and mentioned that he was disappointed with them on his Instagram account. They're built like any other billet wheel. I don't know what he was expecting, maybe less of a markup for Brand? People paid extra for Boyd's rims back in the day too. Ricer... I feel the need to clarify the misuse. Rice-racer, Japanese cars built to mimic Japanese race cars. Wheels are lightweight thin spoke and often a color that stands out. NOTHING billet. Bling would be big and chrome. Jewelery for the car. MW makes billet wheels, commonly seen on hotrods and street rods, but colored like an 80's trend. Given all the retro-purists on this forum, it's going to take some marketing genius to sell big budget rims. |
