Trouble with Rockstar wheels!

[jmsspratlin]

I recently purchased a set of Rockstar wheels and they really don't seem to be worth the money. I initially had problems with them (defects) and had to have them sent back and replaced. I finally got the new set in and now 1 of the "new" ones has a bend in the lip. It also seems like everyone of the center caps has scratches all over the PLASTC star symbol! Seems with the price of these wheels, they could have made a better center cap (possibly non-plastic) and one that actually fit down onto the wheel instead of "hovering" 2 inches above it. WTF was the purpose in that! Anyway, I like the straight on look of the wheel, however they don't look like they would be able to hold up long. If you are considering these, I'd say rethink it. If there are others who have these wheels, let me know what you think of the set-up. Thanks for the space to RANT!.....Jamie

Search for Albie's posts. He's got Rockstars and I don't recall him saying anything bad about them.

BTW, that sux.

That's some crap luck man! I know others that have them and like them.

I looked at a set of 5 today and they were perfect. My tires will be in on Friday, so I'll have them on as well.

As for the center caps, you can mod them so they fit down closer to the rim. I've seen this done and will do the same if I end up keeping the caps on.

Yes, the center caps are plastic,. most caps are.


So, where;s the pics of them? What tires did you put on?

I got 4 of my 5 today. I hope the 5th rim comed in on Monday. I took those center caps and cut the posts down. placed them on and still didn;t like them.

they do sit way closer and do look a little better though. You have to buy shorter screws. Make sure you get stainless. no rust tat way.

I ended up painting my hubs in a semi gloss and used spline lug nuts. DONE!

Those center caps just look wayyyyy too plastic like IMO.

Did any of your wheels come all fawked up? Like the center cap star being all scratched? I have recieved all 5, 1 bent, 1 scratched, 1 center cap star broke, and 3 center caps scratched. Took the rear tire carrier off this AM, so now the 5th wheel will either be mounted on top, or in the garage. They are sending 2 more rims to replace these, but they are on back-order everywhere it seems, so gonna be 2 weeks. Anyway, I suggested they write fragile on these, b/c if they are screwed up too, then we'll just repeat til they get it right!

They are definitely easy to scratch......but sounds like most people don't have a problem. Most likely the person selling them to you is the one selling questionable product.
