Thumbs down American Force Dually Wheels. Bad News! No Warranty!

SORRY TO POST ONTO AN OLD THREAD, BUT I THOUGHT I'D PUT MY TWO CENTS IN.

We installed numerous sets of the 19.5" American Force direct bolt-on wheels a while back. They did fit well, and the aluminum wheels were good looking.

The problem is that the clearcoat peeled off of the wheels. When we called American Force to warranty the wheels for our customers, we were told that the wheels were out of stock, and that they would deal with the situation when they got them back in inventory. This was over a year ago.

In the meantime, on the advice of American Force, we replaced the wheels for the customers with the ones from American Eagle. Great people over there by the way.

Now that we have the American Force wheels back, they refuse to offer us any help on the cost of the warranty. I have called them numerous times with regard to the issue, and was initially promised $300 per set to offset the cost of repolishing the finish.

Now when I call Ray to check on the money, I am told that "we're done talking buddy. I'm not paying you anything. Sue me."

Note. I purchased and installed 8 sets of these things from the company. Quick math tells you that you still make money if you return these three sets.
Quicker math tells you not to ever buy a product from a company who doesnt stand behind it

I went with 24.5s and had them milled down to run 24" tires.

I did the djm 6/8 drop that actually did almost 7 front and 9 rear. I want to have it bagged in the rear but have to wait alittle while. I ordered adaptors and milled down 24.5s to 24s and then had the faces of the rear wheels milled to set closer together in the rear. I love the way it looks now.

If you bag it in the rear the rear end will need to be narrowed since the 24s are so much wider.
